Jennifer Hudson's mother, Darnell Hudson Donerson, was one of two victims shot and killed in Chicago earlier today.
A neighbor told TMZ the other victim was Jennifer's brother Jason. A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies.
The two bodies were found dead on the scene at 2:44 PM. When the fire department arrived and discovered the bodies, police were brought in and the home was declared a crime scene.
Chicago police are now searching for a man and a 7 year-old-boy, believed to be driving on the North Side. The man is known as "William," has braids in his hair, and is driving a 1994 Chevy, according to police scanner traffic. The 7-year-old was wearing a tan jersey with the number 5 on it and tan slacks.
The missing boy, identified as Julian King -- Donerson's grandson -- may have been abducted by Jennifer's sister's ex-boyfriend William Balfour, a suspect in the murder who is considered armed and dangerous, according to police. Balfour may be driving a white Chevy Suburban SUV with Illinois license plate X584859 or a teal/green Chrysler Concord four-door sedan with a left front headlight hanging off and scratches along the left side with temporary tags 332K823.
