White Suburban, boy's body found in Chicago, possibly Jennifer Hudson's nephew

CHICAGO—Police have found the White 1994 Chevy Suburban sought in connection with the deaths of the mother and brother of award winning singer and actress Jennifer Hudson.

Sadly, officials from the Chicago Police Department and Cook County Medical Examiner's office have confirmed that a young boy's body was found in the back seat of the Suburban.

It may be the body of 7-year old Julian King who was discovered missing shortly after the bodies of Hudson's mother and brother were found at the family's home in Chicago. The family is reportedly on the way right now to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office to positively identify the body.

A vigil is planned for today at the Pleasant Gift Baptist Church in the 4500 block of South Greenwood Avenue.

Details in this tragic case are forthcoming.

CHICAGO—The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan spoke to hundreds of inmates at Cook County Jail on Oct. 16 to commemorate the 13th anniversary of the largest public demonstration in U.S. history, the Million Man March in Washington, D.C.

Though confined to correctional facilities, the prisoners remained dignified under the ever present watchful eyes of the prison guards who also listened closely to the words delivered by Min. Farrakhan.

During his message to the men lasting about one hour, Min. Farrakhan recalled the peaceful atmosphere and the displays of unity and brotherhood on Oct. 16, 1995 and said that what we experienced for those 14 hours could be experienced forever if we collectively decided to implement the eight steps of atonement.

“All of you who are listening to my voice are better than what you have shown yourselves to be,” Min. Farrakhan said to the Black and Latino prisoners who gathered to hear his words. “The enemy wants us to think we are enemies of one another when we are in fact natural brothers of each other,” he added.

Min. Farrakhan pointed out to the inmates that their lack of unity has resulted in warfare and killing between Blacks and Latinos who are part of street organizations. He said the lack of opportunities and training along with improper choices have also contributed to increased levels of incarceration.
