"Growing Up Hip Hop" star Angela Simmons is mourning the loss of her ex-fiance and the father of her 2-year-old son after he was murdered in Georgia.
Authorities responded to a call of shots fired in a southwest Atlanta house Saturday afternoon, the Atlanta Police Department confirmed to USA TODAY. Officers found a male with multiple gunshot wounds inside the home's garage.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim as 37-year-old Sutton Tennyson, the father of Simmons' son, Sutton Tennyson Jr.

Simmons, the daughter of rap legend Rev. Run of Run DMC and the niece of record producer Russell Simmons, took to Instagram Sunday to post a touching tribute to her former fiance.
She shared a picture of Tennyson holding their son, thanking him for "leaving behind my greatest gift."
