It has been confirmed that the body of a young boy found today on Chicago's West Side is that of Jennifer's Hudson's 7-year-old nephew Julian King. King's body was discovered in the back seat of the white Chevrolet Suburban that Chicago police, along with the FBI, were searching for over the weekend. King's death adds to this tragedy that began Friday when Hudson's mother and brother were found shot to death in their home.

The 7-year-old had been missing since Friday's murder as family and friends pleaded for his safe return. The Academy-Award winning actress/singer offered a $100,000 reward in an effort to get one step further in finding her nephew. According to reports, King was shot multiple times in the back of the Suburban. Hudson's older sister Julia's estranged husband William Balfour was named as a possible suspect in the Amber Alert and is currently being held in custody as a "person of interest."
