William Balfour has been taken into police custody, reports WFLD-Chicago. Balfour is pictured here in an undated photo provided by the Illinois Department of Corrections. Police sources say Balfour is a a person of interest in the shooting deaths of Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother. No charges have been filed.

Yesterday, police also issued an Amber Alert for 7-year-old Julian King after he was missing from the Chicago residence where Darnell Donnerson was found murdered. Sources say Balfour has refused to provide information on King's location.

Balfour is currently on parole after serving jail time for attempted murder. Balfour is also the estranged husband of Jennifer Hudson's sister, Julia Hudson. Balfour's mother told the Chicago Tribune her son and Julia were separated and that Donerson had thrown him out of the family home last winter.

That piece of garbage (he really does look like vomit-inducing refuse), took someone’s mom and brother. This is such a terrible, terrible thing for the ones left behind to have to deal with forever. I don’t know how you get over that sort of thing, especially when it’s through violence. Godspeed to those poor victims, and swift justice to the scum lowlife.

so now what?

I know she will never see this but just let it be known dear jennifer that we are all praying for you and we all hope you understand that God has his reasons for taking people when he does. The best thing you can do is forgive this horrid wretched person who must be in such a state of evil -then you will be able to join your Mommy and your brother when the time comes. Evil knocks on all of our doors, sometimes more than most. Whether the devil kills someone or steals a husband or rapes someone or dehumanizes our spirits, it is all around us and it is our job to keep praying and to keep ourselves in Gods fold!
