The Trib is reporting sources say that the boy found in the white SUV this morning, believed to be missing 7-year-old Julian King, was killed by a gunshot wound. The Hudson family was to identify the body this afternoon, and CPD Superintendent Jody Weis will be holding a press conference at 4 p.m. today. Also of note, the Amber Alert for Julian is no longer active.

Update - The tragic news which we've all suspected would turn out true has been confirmed: the body of the boy found in a white SUV this morning is Julian King according to law enforcement sources. We still await the 4 p.m. Jody Weis press conference.

Update II - Weis confirmed it in his currently ongoing press conference. Weis's reason for not finding the car for a few days? "It's a big city." Other officials insist that police responded within minutes of being notified of the crime scene.
