Us is reporting that the “person of interest” in the shootings of Jennifer Hudson’s family had previously threatened to kill his ex-wife, Jennifer’s sister Julia Hudson, and to “mess up” her family.

Neighbors report that William “Flex” Balfour, currently in police custody, had been involved in a domestic dispute one month ago at Jennifer Hudson’s mother Darnell Donerson’s home in Chicago.

The dispute was reportedly over Julia Hudson’s claims that Balfour sold a car that he didn’t have permission to sell. Balfour fought with Jennifer Hudson’s brother Jason and her ex-fiance, James Peyton.

“Flex tried to start a fistfight with Jason, and James beat up Flex,” a source explains. Balfour reportedly then threatened the family saying “he would kill Julia and mess up everyone in the house,” the source adds.

This guy is a real Negative Nancy, and I’m sorry to use such language but I’m pretty upset. Since he killed three people I think we should find some way to kill him, then bring him back to life and kill him again and then once more. But you don’t tell him beforehand. It’s a surprise.

It’s been confirmed that the young body found yesterday morning is in fact 7-year-old Julian King. Jennifer Hudson positively identified the body of her nephew. Police sources say he was fatally shot multiple times.

The police held a press conference yesterday afternoon and really didn’t give any details. They continued to say that William Balfour is only a person of interest.

This is truly horrific and there really are no words. Beyond heartbreaking.

The body of a young boy was found inside a 1994 white Chevy Suburban on Chicago’s West Side this morning. The medical examiner has not yet confirmed if the child is Jennifer Hudson’s nephew, Julian King, but it’s pretty certain this it’s him.

The SUV was owned by Jennifer’s brother, Jason. Jason was murdered on Friday, the same day 7-year-old Julian was reported missing.

I had hoped it wouldn’t end this way. Sad and tragic in every way.

Jennifer Hudson’s brother-in-law, William Balfour, was arrested by police. Jennifer Hudson’s nephew Julian is still missing. William isn’t cooperating with police or giving any kind of information. They believe William kidnapped Julian from the home after the murders. Police are still looking for Julian.

William has a long, long criminal history. He has served 7 years in prison for attempted murder.

Neighbors are saying that William and Julia had been fighting for the past two weeks over a car. They say William sold her car without her permission.

Sad news out of Chicago. Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother were found shot in their Chicago home today, and her nephew 7-year-old Julian King is missing from the scene, according to TMZ:

Police are looking for William Balfour, who they claim could be with the missing 7-year-old. According to records, Balfour listed Hudson’s mother’s address as a place of residence within the last year. According to the Illinois Department of Corrections website, Balfour is currently on parole after serving jail time for attempted murder.

Condolences to Jennifer Hudson and her family.

Jennifer Hudson was spotted on set in NYC’s Astor Place yesterday. That’s right by my beloved place in Manhattan, Kmart. I’m joking! Ok, no I’m not.

Anyways…. Jennifer Hudson plays Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant. So far she’s the only new name in the cast.

I’ll give it two months — no wait — two weeks before someone questions why the assistant to the four rich white women is black. I hope I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m not.
