Fox News reports that the mother and brother of Oscar winning actress and singer Jennifer Hudson were found shot to death yesterday. Her 7-year-old nephew is currently missing. Police have described the shootings as domestic violence.
Hudson, a professed Christian, is very close to her family and recently told AP News:
"My faith in God and my family, they're very realistic and very normal, they're not into the whole limelight kind of thing, so when I go home to Chicago that's just another place that's home," she said. "I stand in line with everybody else, or, when I go home to my mom I'm just Jennifer, (so she says), 'You get up and you take care of your own stuff.' And I love that; I don't like when people tell you everything you want to hear, I want to hear the truth, you know what I mean."
In September, Hudson announced her engagement to David "Punk" Otunga, known for his role on the reality show I Love New York 2.
Hudson's career took off after she was voted off "American Idol," going on to win an Academy Award for her role in the 2007 film, "Dreamgirls." She's currently starring in the movie, "The Secret Life of Bees," and recently released her self-titled debut album. The single "Spotlight" from the album is currently No. 1 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop charts. She is on the over of the October issue of Precious Times Christian women's magazine.
Keep Jennifer and her family in your prayers.

I am very sad to hear that such horrific acts take placein our world on a daily basis. I am praying for the entire Hudson family and i am so proud of Ms. Hudson's success. I will never forget when i first saw her on ''American Idol'' my favorite show! Godbless.
My heart and prayers go out to her, and her family. I too just went though the same nightmare, that she is going though now. In September, my 2 year old niece was murder by my sister's boyfriend. So, I can honestly say, I can feel her pain!!!!! We love you!!!!
My children and I are sadden by the passing of your mother, brother, and nephew. We are keeping you and your family in our prayers.
