Sad, sad news for one of the housewives on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
The former fiancé of Kandi Burruss, the newest lady to join the ATL Housewives, was killed on Friday night.
According to police, Ashley “A.J.” Jewell was in an “altercation” in the parking lot of Atlanta strip club The Body Tap Club where he suffered a “severe blow to the head”.
Jewell later died at a local hospital, so now Atlanta police have begun the investigation to find the person behind Jewell’s death.
Says a rep for the Atlanta PD: “We have developed a person of interest and we’ve made contact with him to question him about the incident.”
Kandi is said to be absolutely devastated over her former fianc├â┬⌐’s death, and the Housewives star took to her official Twitter on Saturday to share her thoughts on Jewell’s death.
Writes Burruss:
I could never in a million years imagine this happening. Please pray for A.J.’s children … that’s who i’m the most concerned for. I’m about to give my swollen eyes some rest now. I just wanted to say thanks two everyone for their prayers.
Awful.
