Jennifer Hudson Sets Up Foundation For Murder Victims' Families

Jennifer Hudson's family has set up a foundation for families of murder victims in memory of the actress' slain family members.

The Hudson-King Foundation for Families of Slain Victims has been named in honor of "Dreamgirls" star's mother, Darnell Hudson; brother, Jason Hudson; and nephew Julian King, People magazine reports.

The family said in a statement, "The specific purpose of the Foundation is to care for the needs of families who have lost relatives to a violent crime. This encompasses their basic needs of food, clothing and shelter as well as grief counseling."

The foundation was announced after a prayer vigil on Wednesday night in Chicago to mark the three murders.
