JHUD'S MOM AND BROTHER MURDERED

JHud's mother (57) and brother (29) were killed via gunshot wounds Friday (October 24), police have confirmed to MTV News. Julian King, Hudson's young nephew, who had been living at the residence, has been reported missing.

Chicago police confirmed to MTV News that the child may be in the company of identified suspect William Balfour, an African-American male in his late 20s, who is considered armed and dangerous. Balfour is out on parole from the Illinois River Correctional Center on attempted murder, carjacking and stolen-property charges, according to the Illinois Department of Corrections. He was sentenced to serve seven years in 1999. He's 5-foot-5 and weighs 147 pounds.

Balfour had been living at the residence, according to public records, and may have had a romantic relationship with Hudson's sister Julia, as vehicles are co-registered to both of them.

The Tribune reported that Hudson is not injured, according to her bodyguard. ABC News reported that Hudson was traveling to Chicago from Tampa, Florida.

Damn, our condolences go out to her and her family. I can't help but to wonder why her mom was still living on the south side. More importantly this lil girls need to really reevaluate their desperation for a so called 'thug.'
