CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) — Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew — one of three Hudson relatives found slain in Chicago since Friday — died of multiple gunshot wounds, the Cook County medical examiner's office said Tuesday.

Jennifer Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, brother Jason Hudson and nephew Julian King were shot to death.

But the office, which performed an autopsy on Julian King's body Tuesday, didn't answer questions about when the child died and where his wounds were.

Julian was found shot to death in an abandoned Chevrolet Suburban on Chicago's West Side on Monday. Police had begun a massive search for him on Friday, the day Hudson's mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were found shot to death in their South Side Chicago home.

Julian was the son of Jennifer Hudson's sister, Julia Hudson, who police said found Donerson's body and called police.

William Balfour, 27, who is Julian's stepfather and Julia Hudson's estranged husband, was detained Friday for questioning in connection with the slayings, a police representative said. Julian was not with Balfour when he was detained.

Balfour was later transferred to prison on a parole violation, the police representative said. According to the Department of Corrections, he spent nearly seven years in prison for attempted murder, vehicular hijacking and possessing a stolen vehicle.

No charges had been filed against anyone in connection with the slayings.

The Illinois Department of Corrections said it could not comment on the specifics of Balfour's parole or how he violated it. But Balfour's parole history report shows the department issued a warrant for him Saturday on allegations he violated his parole by possessing a weapon and failing to attend anger management counseling and a substance abuse program, according to The Associated Press.

Parole records also show that Balfour had missed a meeting with his parole agent on Friday, and that the agent subsequently reached him by phone around the time the first bodies were found, the AP reported.

Balfour told the agent he was "baby-sitting on the West Side of Chicago," and that the agent thought he heard a child in the background, the records show, according to the AP.

Balfour will be held until a prisoner review board takes up his case, a department representative said. That process could take several weeks.

On Tuesday, William Balfour's mother, Michele Davis-Balfour, said her son had nothing to do with the slayings.

"I'm sorry this happened to this girl's family, but they're not going to put it on my own son," she said. "He hasn't been framed, but he's been wrongly accused."

Authorities have said the Chevrolet Suburban in which Julian was found was Jason Hudson's. During the search for the boy, postings on Julia Hudson's MySpace page showed a picture of Jason Hudson and the white SUV.

Julia Hudson posted a message on the page after her son's body was found.

"His li'l soul is at ease, I take comfort in knowing that Julian is with my mother and my brother and most of all the Lord, and now he's my angel, he's protecting me," she wrote.

"Now because I chose to do what was natural to me and love someone, it cost me my beautiful family, my wonderful beautiful loving supporting mother, Darnell, my true blue baby brother, Jason, I love u big baby ... and last but never not least, my only son, Julian," she added.

Meanwhile, mourners continue to offer their support for the Hudson family.

On Monday night, a group of women huddled together in the cold singing "Spotlight," Hudson's latest hit song. "No I don't like living under your spotlight," they sang, "just because you think I might find somebody worthy." Mourners left stuffed animals, cards balloons and crosses.

"The hurt that she's feeling, this community is feeling for her," a woman said into a microphone about Julia Hudson.

"I'm really concerned for the mother and how she's feeling. I just want her to know she is in my prayers," neighbor Stephanie Patton said.

"I don't understand how someone could be so cruel," said the Rev. Krista Alston, a cousin in the Hudson family. "I mean, God gives life and God takes life, and it's just so devastating to our family."
