"Atlanta" Housewife Kandi Burruss' Fiance Beaten To Death


Over the weekend, Real Housewife of Atlanta's, Kandi Burruss' ex-fiance Ashley "AJ" Jewell was killed during a fight in the parking lot of Body Tap. Reportedly, he was hit over the head with a bottle.

On Yesterday, Kandi sent out a Press Release:


I am devastated by the loss of AJ. His death comes on the heels of the death of my beloved Uncle Ralph and with both of them gone, my heart is heavy with grief. I had spoken to AJ two hours before I got the call that he was in the hospital. Never in a thousand years did I think it was going to be the last time I heard his voice. He was taken way too soon. There are so many things that I should have said to him, wanted to say to him… But now it’s too late.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of my family and friends — and that means my twitter and facebook friends as well — for the beautiful words of encouragement, prayers, and the sweet condolences. I make it through these difficult days because of you. I know this is cliché’ but I urge everyone to treat each day as if it’s your last and tell that special someone you love them today. Don’t wait. It may be too late.

Please pray for his children, his family and Riley - they too are grieving the loss of an incredible man, son, brother and father. I wish you all had gotten to know the AJ we all knew and loved.

Saturday afternoon, Atlanta Homicide detectives had arrested a suspect in the beating death of AJ, and has been charged with Voluntary Manslaughter.

My heart and prayers goes out to Kandi who also recently lost her Uncle Ralph, as well as AJ's 6 children.
