Word comes this afternoon that the Cook County Medical Examiner has unsurprisingly yet officially ruled Julian King's death a homicide. From the press release: "'The cause of death is multiple gunshot wounds, and the manner of death is a homicide,' said Sean Howard, a spokesperson for the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office." Also, the AP reported suspect William Balfour had been arrested in June on drug charges but didn't have his parole revoked. Balfour also missed a meeting with his parole officers the day of the murders.

As the search continues for missing 7-year-old Julian King, his family has taken to the media to plea for his safe return. In an appearance at a South Side Church, his mother Julia said:

I don't care who you are, just let my baby go. I just want my son back. He doesn't deserve this...I have to believe that he’s OK. I have that hope that he’s OK, I have that faith that he’s OK...He’s not your typical 7-year-old.He doesn’t want to go outside, he doesn’t want to play. He’d rather stay at home and read a book or do some schoolwork or be with his relatives. That’s all Julian wants...I know he’s out there. Just let him go. Put him on the side of the street. He’ll sit there.
