CHICAGO (CBS) ― Chicago police confirmed Monday that the body of a young boy found inside a white sport-utility vehicle on the city's West Side is the nephew of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson. The child had been shot in the the head, authorities said.

The SUV was found at 1313 S. Kolin Ave. in the Lawndale neighborhood, police said. The body of an African-American boy who looked to be about 7 was found in the back seat, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.

This is so, so sad.

I feared this would be how this turned out.

Many prayers for Jennifer and her family in their time of mourning.

If he’s the perp, I’d like to see him get justice quickly. This situation where everyone who knew the victim has been dead for ten years by the time justice is served, is not justice.

This is so tragic. It’s horrible that two adults were murdered here. Why take your rage out on a little child? There must be a special place in hell for anyone who would do such a thing to a beautiful child like this. I shutter to think what this little guy went through on the last day of his precious life.

Given it's Chicago, they'll likely have a pity party for the perp instead.

This family’s grief is unimaginable.

How can someone murder a child like this?

Well one thing’s for sure. The regional universities have requested copies of his resume by now.

Perps should be arrested, tried, and executed in eighteen months to two years. Put it on televison in prime time, and let it look as gruesome as possible.”

Good point. Just like they make a hero out of a terrorist and allow him to teach at the University of Chicago and treat him as if he has anything reasonable to say.

The police are too busy protecting the Obamas, Ayers, Farrakhans and Jacksons to give a crap about anything else.

I am almost stunned that so few freepers are commenting about this great bastion of political sanity called Chicago.

Why have I heard nothing about this corrupt place?

How can the ONE get another pass?

It makes me nauseous to fathom what this child went through before this creep ended his life..... He must have seen and/or heard what happened to his grandmother and uncle.

normally, i'd agree with you on this... however, because it's Jennifer Hudson's family, i think the sympathy flies out of the window...

You won’t get any argument from me.

Ayers admits to being a terrorist. He admits to having killed people. Tell me, what University wouldn’t be proud to have this guy. /s And yet, they seem to be.

How may professions would allow this? How many people would still frequent their services, or their children to those concerns to be educated?

It truly boggles the mind. Our tax dollars pay this son of a bitch’s salary.

Perps Criminals/subhuman filth should be duly-arrested, summarily-tried, and summarily-executed in eighteen months to two years 24-36 hrs.

Put it on television in the 8-10pm prime time slot, and let it look as gruesome as possible. Yep; works for me, DO.

There; fixed it, Sir.

I share your sentiments, but we both realize how this would be abused. There has to be a reasoned due process. Still, there are instances where you’d have to hold me back from approving...
