A nightmare for this Dreamgirl.

Sources confirm to Didn't Invite Me that Jennifer Hudson's mother, 57-year-old Darnelle Donerson, was found dead Friday afternoon in a house on the South Side of Chicago listed in Darnelle's name.

Officer John Mirabelli of the Chicago Police Department tells Didn't Invite Me that officers were called to the 7000 block of Yale Avenue in the neighborhood of Englewood, where just before 3 p.m. they discovered two unresponsive adults—one male, one female—who had apparently been shot to death.

The shooting is believed to be domestic, according to police.

Mirabelli could not confirm the victims' identifies, but a source close to Hudson confirmed a local TV report that identified Darnelle Donerson as one of the deceased. The I.D. reportedly came from a representative of the family's church, Pleasant Gift Missionary Baptist.

A large crowd had gathered outside the home, where police tape was blocking all comers from getting too close.
