Very sad news coming out of Chicago right now.

Chicago Police have identified the body of Jennifer Hudson’s nephew, 7-year-old Julian King.

Police confirmed in a press conference this afternoon that the body found in an abandoned white SUV early Monday is in fact Julian’s.

“At this time, we can confirm that the body located inside the vehicle was the body of 7-year-old Julian King. The vehicle was towed and taken in…for forensic processing,” Police Superintendent Jody Weis said at a press conference in Chicago this afternoon.

Authorities say Julian was shot execution style in the back of the head.

I don’t understand how anyone could do something like this to a child. The world truly is filled with a lot of sickos. This is such a tragedy.
