THE mother of Oscar winning actress JENNIFER HUDSON has been killed.

Investigators say two shooting victims were discovered inside a home belonging to Hudson's mother just before 3pm on Friday.
One of the victims was 57-year-old Darnell Hudson.
The other victim was identified as Jennifer's brother, Jason.
A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies.
The shooting is believed to be domestic, police said.
Jennifer won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Dreamgirls. She recently announced her engagement to boyfriend David Otunga

US police hunting for actress Jennifer Hudson's missing seven-year-old nephew say they have found a boy's body in a car they were seeking in the case.

Julian King has not been seen since Hudson's mother and brother were found shot dead in their Chicago home.

Police issued a search alert for Julian and the 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban vehicle after Friday's discovery.

There is no confirmation of the body's identity. Hudson has offered a $100,000 reward for her nephew's safe return.

In Washington, FBI deputy director John Pistole said at a news conference that the authorities had found a body "who we believe to be the missing victim in Chicago, the nephew of Jennifer Hudson. We are working with Chicago police to get a positive identification of the victim".

Police confirmed the white vehicle was one they were looking for
Aerial pictures showed the vehicle being photographed by police and then towed from West Side, Chicago.

Police later said the licence plate number matched the number listed in an earlier police alert issued about the boy's disappearance.

Earlier, Chicago police spokeswoman Monique Bond said detectives were working around the clock on the case.

"There's a lot of forensic evidence. We have to work the evidence and try and solve this case. Most importantly, we want to find the child," she said.

Julian's mother Julia, Jennifer Hudson's sister, found the bodies of Darnell Donerson, 57, and Jason Hudson, 29, at the family home.

Julia's husband, William Balfour - the boy's stepfather - has been arrested. No charges have been laid.

He was transferred from police custody on Sunday to the Illinois Department of Corrections "based on his active parole violation unrelated to this investigation," a corrections spokeswoman told AP.

Chicago police have confirmed that the body of Jennifer Hudson's nephew has been found.

The seven-year-old was missing since Hudson's mother and brother were shot dead at the family home on Friday.

Police launched a massive search for Julian King over the weekend, while the star's family put up a $100,000 (£65,000) reward for the child's safe return.

Police hunting for the youngster confirmed that they found the body of a boy in a car left on a Chicago street. Hudson reportedly identified her dead nephew at the Cook County Medical Examiner's office yesterday afternoon.

Julian was the son of the actress and singer's sister Julia Hudson. Her estranged husband William Balfour - the boy's stepfather - has been detained for an alleged parole violation "unrelated to this investigation".

No-one has yet been charged for the killings.

Michael Crichton has died at the age of 66 after battling cancer.

The author was best known for penning Jurassic Park and sequel The Lost World, which were both famously adapted for the big screen. He also created US medical drama ER and served as the show's executive producer.

He died unexpectedly in Los Angeles yesterday, having fought "a courageous and private battle against cancer".

"While the world knew him as a great storyteller that challenged our preconceived notions about the world around us, and entertained us all while doing so, his family and friends knew Michael Crichton as a devoted husband, loving father and generous friend who inspired each of us to strive to see the wonders of our world through new eyes," read a statement posted on the writer's website.

"Michael's talent out-scaled even his own dinosaurs of Jurassic Park," said Steven Spielberg, who directed the movie version of the novel.

"He was the greatest at blending science with big theatrical concepts, which is what gave credibility to dinosaurs again walking the Earth."

Other Crichton books adapted for the big screen include Congo and Disclosure.
