Suspected Murder Weapon Recovered

Police recovered a gun today and it may be the murder weapon in the Hudson murder case.

Cops sent 100 personnel to search the area where the body of 7-year-old Julian King was found. A handgun was found in an abandoned lot, about a block away from where the vehicle with Julian's body inside was parked.

Cops believe this is the weapon used in all three murders.

The Chicago Sun-Times broke the story.

61. Your comments are amazing. Never thought of ANY of this.

What's the reason for the Killer(s) taking the boy from the house? I can't imagine why they'd do that?

P.S. You call her hair cut "fly". I thought it looked crazy. She's only 29. She did't look "rested", she's just young.

Thanks for letting us post without "registering". I hate registering...

63. #61 - See I'm just really floored by the fact she didn't raise him herself with the job she has.

That job is basically a half day, weekends off, summers off. That's the kind of job that would be perfect for a single mom who was raising her kids. She could get them out the door and be home when they got home.

Why with a job like that would she need to give her son to her mom to raise? It makes me think she really didn't want to raise him herself or that she just was too busy hanging out with people like Balfour.

It just astounds me that so many kids are being raised by their grandparents when their own parents are perfectly able to do so, but simply choose not to.

Best of everything to you and yours. :)

64. Romans 2:1 ->Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnst thyself; for thou that judest doest the same thing. John 7:24->Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

To the brothers and sisters of Christ.....you know what these scriptures mean. To those of you who don't understand, let me give you my insight. To come to a site such as this and see some of the most disrectful, idiotic, and just plain insensitive comments posted here..........God is not pleased!!!! We as the human species are not excusable. Many of you have posted these comments about a woman whose mother and brother, not to mention her ONLY child that has been brutally murdered, people whom you've never met, don't know the "REAL" details of the case, but come here and past judgment?? This contradicts the word of God. People you need to be mindful of who you pass judgment against because it could have just as well been you and your family. We may never know the entire story of what happened (please be assured that the man or men that committed this horrific crime will have their just reward. For the Black woman2008, it shocks me as a black woman myself, for you to pass such judgment of a human soul!! As a black woman, I must say this, you sound just like Job's wife, FOOLISH. (for the bible scholars, you know who she was). Stop stereotyping black women. (I guess that would put you in that catagory as well huh??) Just because you're mad at the world for your past indiscretions, you shouldn't take it out on Julia or any other woman. EVERYBODY, including you, have made terrible decisions in their lifetime, but noone has past judgment against you or them. Step back and take a look at the "woman in the mirror" before your next judgment. The bible tells us that God's greatest commandment is for us to love one another and as Matthew 5:11-12 states "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven:.......Julia & Jennifer, may God wrap his loving arms around you and may Heaven continue to shine upon you. Your crowns of life are waiting. God bless you both.

66. #64 - you want to come to TMZ's site and spout off your religious views - maybe you need to remember that this IS in fact TMZ - it's a celebrity gossip site and no one here respects anyone else's views. This site is what most would call a 'car wreck' site. You see it, you stare at it, etc.

As far as everyone's assumptions to the mother of this child who was murdered: If she did in fact have something to do with it, she'll have to answer to her crime. But there is, as of now, no proof that she had anything to do with it. Everyone makes mistakes - and maybe she didn't see this man as a mistake. Everyone looks at things different. To each their own.

I do agree that there are some sketchy details to the story as a whole - and I hope that whoever IS responsible for these three murders is caught.

67. If it turns out that Jen's sister is involved, and goes to jail. That would mean she's lost her ENTIRE family in less than a week. Who do you deal with THAT? ...and you're only 22? I'd join my family. If you know what I mean.

68. 64, do we need to call in to an 800 number and donate now?

Do you think that God smiles on you coming to such a horrible gossip site such as this?

Wow, talk about hypocritical. In your post above you're judging others and comparing them to bible characters while telling us not to judge. Be honest, you really are the black jesus, Oprah, right?

69. #64, this is all good, really but no one is judging but blogging. Face it, till the end of time people will talk and voice their opinion. ALL, please WIlliam is GULITY, he had a temper and it only takes one buttom to be pushed to go off. If you are caught up in drugs or owe $$, you may do anything. He has threaten Julia & Julian before. Sick peopel get off torching people. I hope his hand wasn't cut off but it may have. The worse all this ends up to be the more they will all be the devil's best butt buddy. Dno't worry, they will get theirs whoever it is. These days, young girls don't take care of their kids we all know this. It is hte grandparents so don't fault her for that, that is just the way it is. If the parents let thier kids get away with it, the child (Julia) will take advantage of it. It's sad the mom had to get killed over her horrible kids lifestyles. Jason was a druggie andin a gang with Julian's dad and Wiliam. They all got caught up and I doubt if WIlliams car was "sold" legitimately so no tracking there. We could go on for days on this. Julia is wrong for her MS page, shame on her. Women learn the hard way on thugs. I did too but not in death thank goodness. We can't judge which is true but we can comment and have opinions. Julia knows more and even Jennifer may know something but don't be nieve, WIlliam IS involved. His mom and ho's know something too. The gun will reveal and all the evidence. I wouldn't be surprised if all out by Monday. I guess Casey Anhtony is smiling glad the attention is off her at the moment but her day in hell is coming too. Stay safe, call the police in doubt and don't ignore gun shots........wake up on past convicted men. So what WIlliam worked, got ged and took a class in jail, he could still be a murderer and he is. He's on tape people parking his car. It was him, a buddy and Julia knows something. You'll see

70. i just hope the chicago police force is reading all this, because to many peopl are feeling SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH JULIA SEEMS SHE HAS SOMETHING OR KNOWS MORE THAN SHE SAYS. OR COULD SHE BEA SCORN WOMEN TRYING TO SET MR FLEX UP? I DONT KNOW ITS JUST TO WEIRD SO MANY PEOPLE CANT BE WRONG ON THIS.

71. someones post must have been removed becuase I did NOT post anything religious on here....63 did....maybe we need to use names instead of numbers....

72. Hi Proper not Proper, I was thinking the same thing so I went to Julia's Myspace page and holy crap, what a discovery. She's sort of a hoodrat herself, mostly consumed with her likes and dislikes, gangster lingo, street talk, and sex. She seemed very un-mom like but maybe that's just her acting out at Myspace, which I find to be one of the stupidest sites around. Who the freak cares about your favorite this and that? But I saw her in a whole new light and feel her decision to associate with this loser Barfour was everyone's undoing. Poor thing, I don't believe she's wise enough to make good choices after reading her thesis at Myspace.

73. #69..scorn women??? *itch or *astard, we don't even live in IL or know Flex (please he's a punk murderer, druggie, gang banger). We ALL see through this BS and it is so obvous. It's not scorned, that is SO STUPID of you. The IL police are not stupid. It is SOOOOO much they have no one knows right now. They aren't leaking like Casey case. Julia will have to answer to GOD on her part (Heck, check out her MySpace page and see for yourself). But William (look at his page too) and his buddies are going down and soon. His little Jr. will have to carry on in his footsteps along with his mom and ho's.

#70 you are an idoit and only trying to rawl us up. You are ignored from this point forward.

74. To the poster of #42, you are my hero of the day. Freaking brilliant post. No words need be said further than this. You got it all right. Read it everyone because this person said it best.

75. From the Chicago Tribune:

"Police found a handgun Wednesday matching the caliber of weapon used in the murders of actress Jennifer Hudson's three family members, providing a potential break in the case, law enforcement sources said.

The gun was found in an alley just a block from the spot in North Lawndale where Hudson's 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, was found shot to death and left in the back seat of a white Chevy Suburban.

While it is not uncommon to find guns stashed in public places where street gangs operate, police were intrigued by the discovery because it is a .45-caliber weapon. Also, at least one witness claims to have seen someone driving a vehicle matching the white Suburban drive through the alley and toss something from the window, a source said."
