Authorities have reportedly identified the lifeless body of a 7-year old boy to be the missing nephew of singer-actress Jennifer Hudson.

According to reports, the body of Julian King was found in the rear seat of a white Chevrolet vehicle found at Chicago’s West Side on Monday morning. He suffered several gunshot wounds.

The investigation has intensified following this devastating discovery. Hudson’s family has conducted a church vigil after learning about this development.

King has been reported missing since Friday after an unknown suspect killed Hudson’s mother and brother. Hudson offered a $100,000 reward for the safe return of her nephew.

The authorities are currently detaining King’s stepfather, William Balfour for questioning.
