If this is true, what a tragic ending to an already terrible weekend for Jennifer Hudson.

The body of 7-year-old Julian King, Jennifer Hudson’s nephew, was reportedly found dead in a parked white SUV on the west side of Chicago this morning. An Amber Alert has been out for King since his disappearance on Friday.

The white SUV is reportedly the same white SUV belonging to the slain Jason Hudson that went missing at the time of Friday’s murders. Also found dead Friday at the time of Jason’s murder was Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donerson.

William Balfour, the estranged husband, King’s father and a convicted felon, was brought in for questioning shortly after the time of the murders. He has now been transferred to a state correctional facility for reportedly violating his parole.

However, Balfour has not been charged with any crime. The investigation into the two murders — and now possibly three with the alleged discovery of King’s body — is ongoing. More to come.

UPDATE 2:40 PM MST: Police did confirm that the body found in the white SUV was that of 7-year-old Julian King. I’m speechless.
