Dreamgirls star’s sister pleads for safe return of son

JULIA HUDSON, the older sister of Dreamgirls star Jennifer Hudson, has pleaded for the return of her missing son after two members of her family were gunned down at their Chicago home.

“Give me my baby back. That’s all I ask,” she said. “I know he’s out there. Put him on the side of the street. Just let him go.”

A tearful Hudson, 31, said she was clinging to the belief that her son Julian King, 7, was alive and well and praying for a swift reunion.

“I have to believe he is okay. My family is a god-fearing family. That’s why we are here today,” she said addressing the media at a Baptist church on Saturday.

King disappeared from his grandmother’s home on Friday, a home he shared with his mother, grandmother and uncle.

His grandmother, Darnell Donerson, 59, and uncle Jason Hudson, 29, were found shot dead in the home about 3pm by a family member, according to authorities.

Autopsies showed that the pair died from multiple gunshot wounds.

Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson identified the bodies of her mother and brother at the morgue shortly after flying in from Florida late on Friday.

Chicago police issued an Amber Alert, or child abduction bulletin, for King on Friday. On Saturday, authorities called in the FBI to help with the search in case the boy had been taken over state lines.

“From what we know right now, it appears to be some type of domestic situation, but that’s very preliminary,” said Chicago Police superintendent Jody Weiss.
