Us is reporting that the "person of interest" in the shootings of Jennifer Hudson's family had previously threatened to kill his ex-wife, Jennifer's sister Julia Hudson, and to "mess up" her family.
Neighbors report that William "Flex" Balfour, currently in police custody, had been involved in a domestic dispute one month ago at Jennifer Hudson's mother Darnell Donerson's home in Chicago.
The dispute was reportedly over Julia Hudson's claims that Balfour sold a car that he didn't have permission to sell. Balfour fought with Jennifer Hudson's brother Jason and her ex-fiance, James Peyton.
"Flex tried to start a fistfight with Jason, and James beat up Flex," a source explains. Balfour reportedly then threatened the family saying "he would kill Julia and mess up everyone in the house," the source adds.

The bodies of Darnell Donerson and Jason Hudson were discovered last Friday in Donerson's home, and seven-year-old Julian King's body (Jennifer's nephew) was discovered in Jason Hudson's stolen SUV on Monday. No charges have been filed as of yet.

My prayers are with the Hudson family. No that God is your rock! lean on him.
Question: Has anyone heard ANYTHING from the nephew's daddy? He has not said 1 word. He has shown his face but has yet to open his mouth. Remember, you attracked what you are. Has anyone read Julia's myspace?
Ladies - If you know the person's past PLEASE don't put yourself, let alone your child in harms way. HE is not worth your family!
My heart goes out to Julia. I pray that God will give her strength and understanding.

Ladies if you know of the person's past - PLEASE do not put yourself or your child in harms way. I'm praying the God wil strengthen Julia and get her peace and understanding.
I pray that God will relax Balfour mind and bring acceptance into her heart. Both families need prayer for this horrible time.

The storm has truly come; do not fret God will keep you in the midst of it all. Remember that we are just passing through this barren land. Your mom wants you to continue to Dream and persue all of your hearts Desire. She does not want you to worry, she along with her children are in Gods care. To the world at Large lets not get caught up in how or what it looks looks like; for we know the ways of the enemy.God will show the Good out of all of this. Let us all walk in the way we were created and that is spiritual beings and watch justice get served and the enemy flee. My heart and prayers are deeply with you. Continue to be bless and that you are. Your sister in Christ
Angelica says:
Where do you think Julia is, grieving. I know the feeling Jennifer. I lost my mother and my god mother in a violent car accident. She was the only person in this world that I ould relate to, besides my daughter. I did'nt want to talk to anyone after the disaster. But by the grace of God, I came through. My prayers are with you and your family.

My heart goes out to Jennifer and Julia during their bereavement. Experiencing the death of your mother, brother and nephew/son all at once is so personal that very few of us can understand the grief involved. Perhaps it will help to ease your sadness to remember that God did not promise "sun without rain," "light without darkness" or "joy without pain." He only promised us "STRENGTH for the DAY" when "the darkness" comes and we lose our way. Only through sorrow do we grow more aware that GOD is our refuge in times of despair. Keep your hands in God's Hand, for He is the only one that will bring you through. "THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS IN THE MASTER'S BOUQUET."
Natasha says:
My heart goes out to Jennifer & family, but my remorse does not go out to Julia Hudson because she is not showing any type of remorse. I believe she had something to do with the murders. She was either an accessory or the get away driver. THe police really need to be questioning her too as a prime suspect. I love you Jhud. Good job on secret life of da bees.
