The mother of Academy Award-winner Jennifer Hudson was found dead in her home in Chicago on Friday, the Chicago Tribune reports. Another victim, an unidentified 29-year-old man, was found shot in the chest in the house on Chicago's South Side.
Hudson's mother, Darnell Hudson, 57, co-owned the home with her daughter, according to reports. Additionally, an Amber alert was issued for 7-year-old Julian King, who is believed to have been taken from the home. Police have not verified whether he is related to Hudson.
The shooting seems to be a result of a domestic incident, says Chicago police spokesperson Monique Bond.
