Angela Simmons' ex-fiance and the father of her son, 37-year-old Sutton Tennyson, was shot dead outside his Atlanta home on Saturday afternoon. Tennyson was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds in his garage, police said.

According to TMZ, Atlanta police shared that he was seen talking to another man in his driveway before he was shot. It appears that his death was a result of a home invasion robbery and it is reported that the suspect fled in his car.

Tennyson and Simmons, the daughter of Run DMC's Rev. Run, welcomed a son, Sutton Tennyson, Jr., in 2016 before splitting in 2017.

The 'Growing up Hip Hop' star took to social media to share a series of emotional tributes to Sutton on Sunday. She posted a picture of her ex and their son and captioned the image, "Thank you for leaving behind my greatest gift".

"I’m hurting. I’m numb. Thank you for the outpouring [sic] of love everyone. I can't believe I'm even saying Rest In Peace Sutton. I promise to hold SJ down in every way I promise," she continued. A few hours after the first post, she posted a video of their son watching a video of Sutton. She also wrote, "Reflecting. He keeps replaying it. RIP Sutton". 

Post his death, Sutton's lawyer shared, "It's devastating to hear about this tragedy. Mr. Tennyson was a loving father and an overall prince of a man". He also added that Tennyson's child custody case with Angela is now over and that she will get sole custody of their child.

Fans and followers took to social media to share their condolences. One fan wrote, "That is terrible. Poor Angela. Now she has to raise the baby without him". While another fan added, "Omg that's so terrible. Prayers to his family".
