Angela Simmons is “destroyed” with the sad news that her ex-fiancé and the father of her son was found dead in his home on Saturday.

The reality star and entrepreneur posted a pic of Sutton Tennyson, 37, holding their son Sutton Tennyson, Jr.

“Thank you for leaving behind my greatest gift. I’m hurting . I’m numb. Thank you for the out pouring of love everyone,” the 31-year-old wrote on Sunday (Nov. 4).

“I cant believe I’m even saying Rest In Peace Sutton. I promise to hold SJ down in every way I promise.”

While there aren’t many details being shared with the public about Tennyson’s death, CBS 46 News reported that the Atlanta businessman was shot multiple times around 4:30 p.m. Atlanta Police say the shooting happened as a result of an argument between at least two people.

It’s not clear if police have a suspect in custody, have any tangible leads in his murder or have a motive.

Fans took to Twitter to rally around Simmons, sending out condolences and asking others to pray for her and her son.

Simmons and Tennyson welcomed their son in Sept. 2016, ending their engagement in 2017.

Just tragic. Sending all the love and prayers to Sutton’s family, Angela and their beloved son.
