Chicago police have confirmed the body they found earlier in the day was in fact Julian King, Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew.

Cops say they are reviewing surveillance tapes in the neighborhood where the SUV was found.

Police also say they are zooming in on the timeline -- it's still unclear when the SUV showed up in the neighborhood with Julian's body.

Cops have not named anyone as an official suspect. They have called William Balfour "a person of interest." Our law enforcement sources, however, have said Balfour is indeed the prime suspect.

Police spokeswoman Monique Bond says the boy had been shot.

77. Ok...THIS...I definitely didn't want to read about.

How the hell does somebody do this to an innocent, non-threatening CHILD??? Sick F@#Ks!!

Just another reason why I support the death penalty. This young boy didn't even get a chance to know what life's all about yet.

This tragedy just couldn't have been any worse for this family.....celebrity or not.

78. Terre - "So she picked a thug..."

Make it sound like she had a bad piece of chicken for lunch you moron.

I agree with the others - JULIA NOT ONLY DATED, BUT MARRIED A CONVICTED FELON WHO WAS IN PRISON FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER!!!! HELLO!!!!!!!!

Big d*cks were her priortiy - having morals and values and caring about the well being of her son were not.

79. Where is the little boy's mother? Was she taken by this crazy ex husband also? I pray she is alive. Jennifer is a wonderful person inside and out. NOONE deserves to have to deal with anything this tragic!

80. anybody who kills a child should fry! i can only imagine what it feels like to lose a little child. i have a 5 yr old nephew and 2 baby nieces and my life would be over if something happened to them. it is just pure evil to kill a child in cold blood. ugh how could you??

81. I feel like this is in NO WAY the mother's fault. She made a bad choice, yes. But I'm sure that she never in a million years thought it would result in the death of her son, mother, and brother. Just because a person is a felon doesn't make them automatically bad people. We don't know the entire story.

She is fine

It's awful that the two who were having the argument are the only two still alive

84. it's someone else involved I bet.. I've been reading other sites and found out that her brother was shot in the leg not too long ago. Details are sketchy about why though. Some think a hit was put out on the family. If Balfour did it I don't think they would've found him chillin at his pregnant girlfriend's house. He would've been long gone. I think it was a set up for real. But all we can do is hope justice is served. May "whoever" did it rot in hell!

85. A bad choice?

Doing drugs is a "bad choice." Smoking is a "bad choice."

Choosing to marry a convicted felon of attempted murder, to be your sons stepfather is completely ignorant on so many levels.

RIP

86. WHY DID HE KILL THE BABY?!!!!!!!
THERES A SPECIAL PLACE IN HELL, FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD DO THIS TO A CHILD.
I'M IN SHOCK RIGHT NOW. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. HE WAS JUST A BABY!! HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO COLD? I WANNA KILL THIS BASTARD MYSELF. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE ACTUALLY, PUT THAT BABY THROUGH THIS. THE POLICE BETTER KEEP HIS SORRY AZZ LOCKED AWAY FROM THE PUBLIC. THE ONLY OPTIONS HE HAS IS JAIL OR HELL!!

87. OK! STOP ALREADY! ENOUGH OF THIS STORY, PLEASE! THE KID IS DEAD, THE PIECE OF s*h*i*t THAT KILLED THE KID IS IN JAIL AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE PUT TO DEATH. THE STORY IS NO LONGER NEWS, PLEASE STOP!

88. Julia and Jennifer my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Remember God is to wise to make a mistake and don't question what happen just move on. I know you might say it's easy for others to say since it didn't happen to you, but just keep the faith and never cease to pray. This was a senseless act and whom ever is at fought will have there day in court.

89. This is the most trajic story. I cant even imagine, to me this is more important than any news I have been hearing on the news. I am so so sorry for the family. Whoever did this is the most evil cut throat and ruthless person. To think that revenge or jealousy, can effect someone this much is so sad. I just wish that the family could have some how see this coming and just move away from the environment, easier said now.
I am just so sad. How do you really get over something like that.
