The Cook County Medical Examiners office is processing a crime scene on a Chicago street and have found the body of missing Julian King, nephew of actress Jennifer Hudson. Illinois State Police Lt. Luis Gutierrez confirmed that the Amber Alert has been canceled for the vehicle and for Julian. They are no longer looking for the car or the missing child.
Police had been searching for a white SUV that has been missing since Friday. It was located on a Chicago street this morning, reportedly with the young boys body inside.
The 1994 Chevrolet Suburban, with a license plate number matching suspect William Balfour’s, was discovered on the 1300 block of South Kolin Avenue at 8:00 a.m. The vehicle has been towed away for evidence processing.
Balfour, 27, has been held by police since Friday following the discovery of the bodies of Darnell Donerson and Jason Hudson. He is the estranged husband of Julia Hudson, Julian’s mother and Jennifer Hudson’s sister.
Police had initially found spent gun casings in the boys bedroom. The seven year old had not been seen since the discovery of Hudson’s murdered mother and brother at their Chicago home. Julian’s mother had been hopeful that he had simply been hiding after witnessing the brutal slaying of his grandmother and uncle.
Hudson made a plea on her website over the weekend, offering a $100,000 reward for the safe return of the boy. Check out the entire story here.
Police Supt. Jody Weis confirmed that the body found on Chicago’s West Side is that of 7-year-old Julian King. Two black SUV’s carried approximately a dozen family members to the Cook County medical examiner’s office at 3:00 p.m. this afternoon and the group departed without comment at 3:54 p.m.

No matter who you are or what you become in life, this is a tragedy for any family. It breaks my heart to know someone could take the life of an innocent child without thinking of the moral and spiritual implications it will have on them. Not only on them, but the family of the victim. My prayers and thoughts go out to the family of the King’s and Hudson’s.
When I first learned of the kidnapping it was from CNN. I was very disturbed the CNN anchor persons, T.J. Holmes and Betty Nguyen, attempt to let the world know, Julian “could be a key witness”. I understand their intent, but putting so much focus on him being a witness, rather than urging the community to do their part in trying to find the little boy, (in my mind) made him a target. Their emphasis on him possibly witnessing the previous murders was a bit over the top when there was no clear evidence of his presence during those events. Holmes and Nguyen should have focused on his disappearance and not give anyone, any thought to Julian being a witness.

God bless their family and help them with their grief and this terrible time.
I am so sorry this has happened to this family! I hope that Chicago embrasses this family not as a family of celebrities but as a family of America. The best instrument we have to cope with such a tragedy is the love of God. None of us are exempt from the dangers of this society. I pray the who ever has caused this devistation is captured and brought to justice. God Bless this family and all the families that are involved. I pray also for Chicago that the hatred and killing stop. We are sheeps of His pasture He is the only one who can guide us when we go astray. I pray that Jesus grants those who are living a life of negativity rises to a life of Godly worth and positive growth. Love Trecii
