Police in Chicago have discovered the body of a young boy in a white Suburban on the West Side. An investigation is underway to determine if it is 7-year-old Julian King, the nephew of "Dream Girls" actress Jennifer Hudson.

A spokesperson for the Cook County Medical Examiner confirmed to the Chicago Sun-Times that the child was discovered at approximately 8:00 AM. Investigators are on the scene.

Chicago police have not released any information linking the discovery to Julian's disappearance.

Julian was missing after the discovery of the bodies of Jennifer's mother and brother, who had been shot. A white Suburban was also reported missing from the home where the bodies were discovered.

The Oscar-winning actress yesterday announced a $100,000 reward for the safe return of her nephew.

It is beyond my comprehension that these kinds of deaths are occurring more often and it is a terrible shock to the family. People have got to look for red flags early and there needs to be immediate community help for all involved. I am tired of counsellors and help line workers on the phone or working from their offices. GET THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD CLINICS OUT THERE.

My heart goes out to Jennifer and her family! I don’t know how it is to lose a child or mother, but I can’t picture life without them! There is a God and no matter what we do good or bad we all have to answer to him someday and when you hurt a child that day comes sooner then you know it. It may not seem to help now, but nothing that we can do here on earth is greater then his work in heaven! Keep him and he will always keep you in Jesus name Amen!!!!

I don’t understand how someone could be so heartless. They’ve killed almost her entire family. Who would do such a thing?
And it doesn’t matter that Jennifer’s a celebrity, no one should have to face a nightmare like this.
I hope they find and convict the killer.
My heart hurts for Jennifer and Julia right now. It really does.
I just pray that God consoles her, because no human being will be able to. Only God.
