Chicago Police have arrested William Balfour,  the estranged brother-in-law of R&B Singer and actress Jennifer Hudson.  He will be charged with three counts for the October slayings of Hudson’s mother, brother and young nephew, authorities said today. “He was released to Chicago detectives,” Chicago Police Department spokeswoman Monique Bond said. Balfour, 27, who was married to Hudson’s sister Julia, was a person of interest after the slayings and was detained and questioned by police but not charged. Balfour, who was also imprisoned for violating his parole on a previous attempted murder conviction, was scheduled to have a hearing on Wednesday. Police did not reveal the evidence that led to Balfour’s arrest but he now faces charges for the slaying that tore the Oscar winner’s family apart and grabbed the attention of the nation in late October. Balfour will be charged for the shooting deaths of Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donerson, 57, brother, Jason Hudson, 29, and 7-year-old nephew, Julian King. Donerson and Jason Hudson were found shot to death on October 24 in Donerson’s home on the South Side of Chicago. Four days later, Hudson’s young nephew’s body was found in a stolen sport utility vehicle parked and abandoned on the West Side of the Windy City. A gun reportedly used in the slayings was found close to the SUV.

Thank go that they caught him cause that was wrong for what he did belueve me he will suffer for what he did. Even thought he is family the family still need to pray for him and the family need to take him to court and let the judge handle him. I hope the family will get justice and he get time for it. the family just needs to forgive him even do he did do that and he will weep what he sowed and that is what I think about that. God Bless the Jenifer Hudson family.

My Hope is for Justice and Truth... Said on

I pray that he is the right guy, and not just a fall guy to arrest due to public media, because when the law forcement is being watched they will focus in on the first person who they can close a case on.

UMlaw, you are totally off base. You should not use this tragic story as a platform to spew racist comments. This is a tradegy that transcends race. Where is your humanity? This would be a trajedy no matter what. Jennifer and her family have suffered an incomprehensible loss. The deep sarrow that they must be feeling, you couldn’t possibly fathom. And based on your comments, you haven’t even tried.

My heart goes out to the Hudson Family. It was bad enough to hear that the mother and son was shot to death, but to hear about how that little boy was shot multiple times, I just cannot bear it. I have an eight year old and never could I imagine something like that happening to him. All I know is that God makes no mistakes and that everything happens for a reason. As for whomever is responsible, my comments are to sometimes expect what is not visual. Nevertheless God Knows. Jennifer, I pray that God continue to comfort you and bless you in every way possible.



Vivian Said on

I’m glad he confess but I have one question? If he was in jail during the time Jennifer’s nephew was missing and his body was found when this cat was in jail, how did the little boy body get in the truck and who placed the truck on the west side of Chicago? How was Balfour able to be in two places at the same time? Hmmmmm



john Said on

I am glad they got him.. But I pray this is a lesson learned here to the sisters who think, letting just anyone into you life nd family, with thinking of what he is about and into. As a former Correctional Officer, it would just sadden me to see these nice decent females drag their kids to a prison to see a felon or rapists. To say they have a man. This piece of dirt of a boy, was bought into this family..I hope we all see a lesson here..
By her sister, what was she thinking. You do not love just anyone, exspecially with a child…He is a low life, did anyone not see that….

Learn from this sad story….LEARN………sisters



Jennie Said on

Garvin Said on

Whom ever was responsible for this crime, I hope that when they go to prison, they get what is destined for them. Here is to “no Vaseline”!



remmo Said on

%uck jennifer hudson she’s the real killer! leaving her family in one of the worse cities in the world. Englewood on the south side of Chicago. What a dummie, and to think she won an Oscar!



phyl Said on

It is really sad that many on this forum cannot spell or put together a complete sentence. I know many will get mad that I’m writing this, but we must do better. If you are going to trash others, at least have your own stuff together…

Lastly, do not be so quick to judge others. You are doing exactly what so many blacks accuse “the white man” of doing; convicting someone based on skin color, where they live, or what they look like! As it currently stands, these are only allegations, they still must be proven. The accused is entitled to due process and should be considered innocent until proven guilty. Wouldn’t you want the same?



Lory Said on

Thank GOD, justice is in process. And to think that these men have so many rights, this is when we need to really make use of capital punishment. If evidence leads to him and the killer why go about courts for years. Plain and simple, these people are just a waste on this earth.

Here we go around telling the wrold how great the U.S.A. is ,however The U.S.A. is great because of all the Black blood that we have silled and that the Eruopeans have created Drug addits and cold blood mruders of ourselves. As long as Eruopeans are not begin mrudered action will be very slow on stoping these sentless killing of black peolpe on each other.
