A Cook County grand jury has indicted a Chicago man accused of killing actress Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew.
The indictment of William Balfour, 27, was announced Tuesday during a court appearance. Authorities allege Balfour entered the family's Englewood home Oct. 24 and fatally shot Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, 57; brother, Jason, 29; and nephew, Julian King, 7.
Investigators said they believe the slayings were prompted by a quarrel between Balfour and his estranged wife, Julia Hudson, Jennifer Hudson's sister, over his assertion that she had a new boyfriend.
