Washington (OTL) - Chicago police have managed to recover a gun that they believe is the murder weapon in the killings of Jennifer Hudson’s family members.
Last Friday, the mother, brother, and nephew of Jennifer Hudson were murdered.
57-year old Darnell Donerson, 29-year old Jason Hudson, and 7-year old Julian King are all believed to have been killed by this murder weapon.
The murder weapon is a .45-caliber gun and is now in a crime lab being tested.
They matched shell casings that were recovered at the crime scenes.
The gun was found by a police recruit who was conducting a routine search in connection with the investigation.
It was found in an empty lot full of trash on the West Side of Chicago.
