Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Jennifer Hudson's mother was one of two victims shot and killed in Chicago earlier today.
A neighbor tells TMZ the other victim was Jennifer's brother Jason. A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies.
We're told 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.
A call to Hudson's rep was not immediately returned.
This is so sad. I saw an interview with her after her Oscar nomination and she gave all the credit for her talent to God. Seemed to have a deeply rooted faith in Christ and have her head on straight.
jonny, did you see this?
What a tragedy.
Prayers up for Jennifer and her family, and that they get the little boy back safe.
So very, very sad.
She is a good person.
Who cares about her politics at a time like this?
Her Mom and her brother murdered, and her little nephew kidnapped.
God help them all!
She may be. I don't know but, she sang at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
Right now it does not matter if she is a conservative or a liberal. Nor does it matter for whom she has been campaigning.
Life can change on a dime. She just got a double, no, a triple dose. One minute life is fine and the next second her entire universe has collapsed. I cannot even imagine.
I wonder if there is a BOLO for the NRA. Apparently someone thinks they are responsible:
15. I hope the NRA is happy. This is the kind of thing they never seem to get around to mentioning.
Prayers to Jennifer Hudson. Her mother and brother. This has to be devastating.

Jennifer Hudson engaged to David Otunga (attorney/reality star) and Otunga was Special Guest Speaker at Barack Obama’s “Young and Powerful” Event ...
Terrible. Were the killers after her?
You may be thinking of Mandeesa. She is also a very beautiful black singer from American Idol. Mandeesa is a Christian singer and very conservative.
And there is an AMBER ALERT for her nephew
UPDATE 6:40 PM: An all points bulletin has been issued for a boy, believed to be Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew (pictured below), who may have been taken from the scene. Police are looking for 1994 white Suburban with the license plate X584859.
Fox is reporting it as “domestic abuse” so that means they have an idea of who it is....(along with the nephew missing and the license plate being broadcast)
“Right now it does not matter if she is a conservative or a liberal.”
No, right now it doesn’t matter, you’re right. But the question was raised if she was a liberal and I am affirming it, that’s all.
Sorry if it sounded like a slam. Didn’t mean to sound that way. :-)
Then they are about to get a VERY unfriendly visit from the FBI.
You may be thinking of Melinda Doolittle or Jordin Sparks. Both are pro-life Christians and Melinda (if I'm not mistaken) has been to the White House more than any other Idol contestant.
Whoa ...
Thanks for the ping
Yeah, it’s been all over the news Chicago news this afternoon. :-(
