J-Hud has a reward for the any information about the death of her family members as well as the kidnapping of her nephew:

A spokeswoman for Hudson confirmed the reward, the latest development in the investigation of the shooting deaths of Hudson’s relatives and abduction of her nephew, Julian King. “Please keep praying for our family and that we get Julian King back home safely,” Hudson said in a posting on her MySpace page Sunday. “If anyone has any information about his whereabouts please contact the authorities immediately.” Hudson also posted two pictures of her nephew wearing the brown-and-orange striped polo shirt he was last seen in. Earlier, Hudson viewed the bodies of her mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, the Cook County medical examiner’s office told CNN Sunday. They were found shot to death Friday in their South Side Chicago home. Meanwhile, Chicago police are handing out fliers as part of a massive search for Hudson’s nephew. Police issued an Amber Alert for Julian and asked people to look out for a 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban with Illinois license plate X584859. Julian is described as being 4-feet-11 and 130 pounds. He was wearing a striped brown polo shirt and khaki pants when last seen, authorities said in the Amber Alert. News reports, however, say that person is Hudson’s brother-in-law, William Balfour in custody. Balfour’s mother has also acknowledged her son has been questioned about the shootings. Chicago news station WLS reported Saturday that Julian was not with Balfour when he was detained. Police say they have transferred the person in custody to the Illinois Department of Corrections for a parole violation.

Punk is also calling out for assistance with finding Julian. We have more pictures of Punk and the Hudson family below.

We have another picture of David with JHud’s late mother when you check under the hood…

    i think there are red flags when you begin a relationship with someone and although this is besides the fact jennifers sister should have been mindful of the people she kept in her circle. I visited the husbands page and within seconds i could tell he was not someone they should have affiliated themselves with…

    speaking of pages to me it seemed as if they used jennifer name as a means of a meal ticket on both pages they referred to them knowing jennifer which i found to be pretty pathetic and odd. Not to many people who have family members as celebrities mention it but it seemed to be the basis of their identities. Maybe i’m reading too much into it but it did strike me as weird..either way the black on black crimes have got to stop..all crime has got to stop..SMH @ society…

    @cutie pie*kindly putting people on blast est.1985*(Check me out!)

    and shame on the f*cking media!…can the family grieve in peace? yall got pictures up of the family during personal times..what the hell does punk eating with jennifers mother have to do with the missing boy..riddle me that?!

    ————————————–

    On the other hand, they probably want a lot of personal pictures of him so that he can get embedded in our minds and it would be easy for us to recognize him if we see him…going to sleep yall

  • Tameka

    Good Monday Everyone! This is so tragic and I will keep Jennifer and her family in my prayers. God let that little boy be safe!

    there are no pictures of the alleged killer just pictures of the family..this is how they make news “sensational” don’t fall for their tricks the pictures of the family is unneccesary..one or two pics are fine 5,6 too much just because she is a calebrity does not mean her tragedy needs to be continuosly broadcasted to the world..i don’t i know this would not be ok for me…

    Breaking news from the Chicago Sun-Times, suntimes(dot)com:

    The body of a male child was found on South Kolin Avenue, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. Authorities said the child may be 7-year-old Julian King, who went missing from the crime scene Friday where the bodies of the mother and brother of Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson were found in their home in the 7000 block of South Yale Avenue.

  • Damn shame

    Hair done – yet mustache aint be waxed YET! not looking positive

    As the search for Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew intensified over the weekend, many are turning a wary eye toward the boy’s mother — Jennifer’s older sister, Julia Hudson.

    Julian King went missing the same day his grandmother and uncle were gunned down in their Englewood home early Friday (10/24). He hasn’t been seen or heard from since.

    Questions first started to arise early Saturday morning when it appeared that Julia logged into her Myspace page to accept friend requests.

    In an emotional plea Saturday for the safe return of her son, Julia King appeared well-rested and her hair was immaculately laid. Now I’m not judging Julia Hudson, but I can’t see a grieving mother sitting in a beauty salon for hours while her hair is curled and spritzed.

    Add to this the fact that Julia reportedly returned home from work Friday to find the body of her mother lying on the living room floor. But Hudson is a school bus driver and Friday was a teacher work day in Chicago. Meaning, school was out for children.

    Also, when she made her public plea Saturday, Hudson seemed to know that her son’s abductor was not her estranged husband. William Balfour was arrested late Friday but never charged.

    Balfour was turned over to the state dept. of corrections on Sunday for violating his parole in a case unrelated to the murders. A judge could set him free as early as this week.

    It’s obvious that Balfour is no longer a suspect or he would still be in police custody. Chicago police forensics technicians dusted the front door and inside the home for fingerprints and didn’t find any belonging to Balfour.

    All of this is leading to speculation that Julia is somehow involved.

    Jennifer Hudson has offered a $100,000 reward for the safe return of her nephew. Police are still looking for a 1994 white Chevy Suburban with license plate: X58-4859. Anyone with information is asked to call Chicago police.

    This is horrible news to wake up to. God bless Jen and her family in this difficult time. There has been a lot of criticism of black women since this story originally broke. Well, something tells me that the a-hole who did this did not have his father in his life. BLACK MEN–RAISE YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS AND TEACH THEM SOME MORALS.

  • Maraya

    This junk is just sadness…..She’s riding high in life in really every way imaginable and then loses a HUGE chunk of that happiness to this.

    They didn’t have to do Any of them like this….but especially not that little boy!

    I don’t think David or punk…whatever his name is…don’t think he’s a bad lookin dude. He’s just really manicured.

  • FURIOUZ STYLEZ

    PUNK IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERYTHING

  • http://www.j.com noelle

  • Ashley Sebastian

    Bill Crosby son, Michael Jordon’s father and all the young children mostly in the black neighborhoods of Chicago who have die by violence; by the hands of others. Who put them in harm way. Ted Bundy, John Gacy, Columbine High School massacre, the father who set is son’s on fire and Susan Smith. Who put the people they killed in harms way? Pray for the family and quit placing blame, the world is full of good and evil. You cannot look into the soul of others and tell what one is capable of doing. I am praying that the lord will give give People understanding and let them have more compassion in Jesus’ name. Lean on the Lord. My prayers are with everyone who is going through something.

  • lburn
