Once inside, they found 29-year-old Derika McGhee and her son Aiden Williams dead, along with 34-year-old Darrin Patton Jr. Patton who was allegedly McGhee's boyfriend.Authorities said all signs point to Patton killing McGhee and Williams before he killed himself.

For our ball family, for our young boys as they deal with the loss of a best friend and teammate at such a young age, and for the entire family of Aiden as they navigate the days ahead. Speechless and numb this morning.. but thankful for a God who heals all wounds, calms all worries, carries all our struggles, and wipes every tear as we cry them."
