The Oscar winner experiences a family tragedy, reports say.
Jennifer Hudson's mother and brother were found shot to death in a Chicago home Friday afternoon.
The bodies of Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, 57, and brother Jason Hudson, 29, were discovered in Donerson's South Side home by a relative, says the Associated Press.
Police detected no trace of forced entry at the home, but they link the deaths to domestic violence -- authorities detected defensive wounds on at least one of the victims, says the AP.
Chicago's WBBM reports that police say neighbors heard shots fired between 8 and 9 a.m. Friday morning. Hudson's sister, Julia, discovered her slain relatives in the family home at least six hours later, police add to WBBM.
