Celebrity Justice
Boy Shot In Head

A source close to the Chicago murder investigation says the murdered 7-year-old suffered at least one gun shot to the head.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office has not yet confirmed the boy is in fact Julian King ... the FBI says it believes the body is that of Julian.

Sean Howard, a spokesman for Cook County, says Jennifer Hudson has not yet arrived to ID the body -- but should be there shortly.

46. MY GOD IN HEAVEN... I just looked at my 10 year old daughter and 13 year old son, and I can't imagine what kind of ANIMAL could do such a thing to ANYONE, let alone a child........MY GOD MY GOD...

47. 24. For the person who asked "do we now believe in the death penalty?" Why should he get off that easy, death would be an easy way out. He needs to live while being tortured, death is tooooo easy for an animal like him. He needs to really feel the pain, like little Julian did!!! May he RIP!!!

I dont think burning in hell is an easy way out!!! But let him be with the general population before that so he can get what he deserves from the other inmates!!!

48. Everyone knows what has to be done with this guy. I don't generally take to vigilante justice, however I've got a feeling that if this were in Texas...things would be already settled.
Only a sick animal would do this to a 7year old.

51. no need for capital letters...obviously I did not mean for another child to have been shot to death!!!!!!! and in any case another child is dead which is horrific! that is natural human reflex to say that. I apologize for any misunderstanding...

52. Its awful to kill anybody. But when you kill a child, you are one cold S.O.B.

53. For goodness sake tmz. Did you really have to change the photograph of the little boy to go along with that horrific headline of a gunshot to the head. Its a bit morbid. I can understand you trying to get the story out, but I saw the pic you had up for this story 20 minutes ago and it wasn't a side view of the child's head. Yuk!

54. i agree with what was said as to jennifer being the one to id all these loved ones. it's not just her responsibility. i respect the fact that julian's mother is in turmoil right now, i have 3 children of my own. my middle son was playing hide and seek one day and fell asleep under the table that had a table cover, i went crazy thinking something bad had happened, when i found him i can't describe to you the joy. it just seems like too much for one person to be dealing with all of this. but that's only our opinions, we do not know if it's been by her choice or not, only she knows. i do hope that this is brought to justice to whoever has taken the coward's way out and killed an innocent child. in due time that person will be dealt with. my thoughts and prayers are with the entire hudson family, not just one particular person. may they be able to find some kind of closure and peace in this horrible tragedy.

57. The sick bastard probably made him watch his family killed and dragged him to the car and trotured him and then killed him.I say Kill all of Balfour's family and then let Julia kill Balfour

58. My condolences go out to the Hudson family as well as the King family and all other familys and friends near and dear to these people who have suffered an unfortunate death. Please keep the prayer going for these people who have suffered such a great loss. God Bless You ALL!!!

59. It is times like this I really hope with all my heart Jennifer, Julia & Julian's biological father, (not the step father who is thought to have done this) that Darnell, Jason & Julian are surrounding you to keep you safe because when some one passes away no one could ever replace the pain of missing someone. Who ever the monster is who commitied this unimaginable harm needs to be in their own hell..May karma strike you 3 times over...You make me sick

Posted at 4:39PM on Oct 27th 2008 by RIP with your Grandma & Uncle little man
