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.
Prayers for the family going up
Very sad. But, who is Jennifer Hudson?
That poor girl. Chicago’s such a friendly place.

What is that all about?
What the hell are you talking about?
She was on American Idol and than starred in Dreamgirls where she was an Oscar last year.
Sad.
i just heard this on the tube... how sad... this happened in her mother’s Chicago apartment... two bodies found... one definitely Jennifer’s mother...
She was a contestant on American Idol who’s gone on to a good career. She was nominated for an Oscar for some movie a couple years ago...I forget which movie.
What a nightmare.
sad.....
So they planned it and knew who they were going after? Very sad.
This is sad. I believe Jennifer Hudson is very socially conservative, if I recall.

Dream Girls, right?
Ya, that’s the one.
I’m not sure about that, she did sing the national anthem at the DNC- I will admit it was fantastic. Too bad it was wasted on democrats.

No, she is a liberal and has been out campaigning for Obama.
Well, they just arrested some ex Chicago cop who the newspapers have declared guilty of torturing some murderers back in the 80’s, so I guess everything is ok now.
