Real Housewives of Atlanta’s Kandi Burruss, is dealing with the tragic death of her fiancé, Ashley ‘AJ’ Jewell, who made frequent appearances on the hit Bravo reality show. Channel 2 news of Atlanta broke the story late Friday night of his death.
Reportedly, AJ received a severe head injury during a fight at ‘The Body Tap Club’ in Atlanta. He was taken to Piedmont Hospital where he later died.
Police said they have not determined a motive for the brawl, but the investigation is still under way. “It appears he was involved in an altercation in the parking lot and he received a severe blow to the head,” stated Atlanta Police Lt. Keith Meadows.
Kandi Burruss’ publicist, Lisa Nelson, confirmed to reporters that the incident has left Kandi stunned and speechless. It has also been reported that Kandi will be attending the funeral of her uncle today (October 3rd).
I’m bout 2 give my swollen eyes some rest now. I just wanted to say thanks 2 everyone for their prayers. I gotta get up & go 2 my uncle’s funeral.

Story and investigation still developing. Our condolences go out to Kandi and AJ’s family. He was a father of 6 children.
