Search Intensifies For Jennifer Hudson's Nephew

Copyright 2008 / ET
Chicago authorities are intensifying their efforts to locate the 7-year-old nephew of Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson, whose mother and brother were shot dead on Friday, the Associated Press reports.

An Amber Alert remains in effect for the nephew, Julian King, who went missing from his South Side Chicago home on Friday - the same day the bodies of his 57-year-old grandmother Darnell Donerson and 29-year-old uncle Jason Hudson were discovered. The deaths have been ruled homicides.

The AP quoted Chicago police spokesman Dan O'Brien as saying the search for King is citywide, but residents and officers were focusing search efforts "in the immediate vicinity" of Hudson's home. Searchers planned to comb area streets on foot and hand out fliers.

Hudson's older sister Julia, 31, pleaded for the return of her missing son Saturday at the family's church in Chicago, saying her son "doesn't deserve this."
