Reality Roll Call

CHICAGO (CBS) ― The mother and brother of Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson were found shot to death in a South Side residence Friday afternoon.

Police issued an Amber Alert for a missing 7-year-old child, a nephew of Hudson’s.

Hudson’s mother, 57-year-old Darnell Hudson Donerson, was one of two adults found fatally shot at a home at 70th Street and Yale Avenue, said Willie Davis, pastor of Progressive Baptist Church, where Jennifer Hudson has been a member.

The other victim was her brother, Jason, a relative said.

“This is a very sad day to get that kind of news,” Davis said. “This is really going to be a major, major blow to such a wonderful person … But we know through our faith in God she’ll get through it.”

Davis said Hudson’s relationship with her mother was “very close.” The singer was expected to arrive in Chicago from Florida, he said.
