A body believed to be Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew was found in Chicago Monday morning, according to reports.
Police had been searching for Julian King since Friday, when they found the bodies of Hudson's mother and brother, who had been shot to death.
Julian is the son of Hudson's sister, Julia.
Police issued an amber alert for the boy Friday, and asked people to watch out for a white SUV that had been stolen from the house. According to the Chicago Medical Examiner's Office, a boy's body was found in the same SUV Monday, reports the Chicago Tribune.
On Sunday, Hudson offered a $100,000 reward for the safe return of her nephew.
She also posted a message asking people to "keep praying" for her family on her Celebrity MySpace page.

Quote: Boy Found Dead in Chicago, No Word on ID Yet
n what may be the horrible conclusion to an epically tragic weekend for Jennifer Hudson's family, Chicago authorities have recovered the body of a 7-year-old boy, fitting the description of the entertainer's missing nephew.
However, there has been no confirmation that the remains, found in an SUV abandoned on a Chicago street, are those of Julian King.
Julian vanished following the slayings of Hudson's mother and brother, who were shot dead in their home Friday. Police issued an Amber Alert and FBI kidnapping experts were called in to help search for a white 1994 Chevy Suburban—the same vehicle where the body was discovered.
Over the weekend, Hudson and her sister, Julia, the boy's mother, both made emotional pleas for Julian's safe return. The Oscar-winning Dreamgirls star also offered a $100,000 reward and asked fans "to pray for our family."
The boy's stepfather, William Balfour, was detained by police but has not formally been charged. He is currently in the custody of state officials.
| I can't even imagine what she is going though right now. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her sister.
