According to a TMZ report Jennifer Hudson’s mother was one of two victims shot and killed in Chicago earlier today. Public listings show Jennifer Hudson and Darnell Donerson at the address. Hudson, the Oscar-winning actress and singer, grew up in Chicago and her mother’s name is Darnell Donerson.

A cousin who lived nearby discovered the bodies at 2:44 PM and a neighbor identified the other victim was Jennifer’s brother Jason.
When the fire department arrived and discovered the bodies were already dead, police were brought in and the home was declared a crime scene. A police spokeswoman said the deaths appeared to be the result of domestic abuse, but she declined to elaborate. Authorities were looking for a 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban missing from the area around the home with 7-year-old Julian King inside, believed to be Hudson’s nephew. Condolences to the Hudson family!
