The Real Housewives of Atlanta's A.J. Jewell Killed in Bar Fight

| Kandi Burruss and A.J. Jewell |
Ashley "A.J." Jewell, who appeared on The Real Housewives of Atlanta as the fiance of Kandi Burruss, has been killed in a bar fight. Police say he got into a beef in the parking lot of The Body Tap Club in Atlanta, when he took "a severe blow to the head." Though details of the incident are still sketchy, detectives do have a person of interest in the case.
Jewell appeared on the TV show as the love interest of Burruss, the newest cast member and former member of the R&B group Xscape. The Grammy-winning producer recently recently told Essence magazine that she and Jewell were on "hiatus..."
Recent episodes have featured Burruss fighting with her mother over her possible marriage to Jewell. Mom thought Jewell, who had children by other women, wasn't the marrying kind because he never wed the mothers of his kids.

| Jewell was killed in a fight with Frederick Richardson over control of The Body Tap Club, police believe |
Though details are still on the sketchy side, the beef seems to boil down to this. Jewell, a part owner of The Body Tap Club, got into an argument with Frederick Richardson, an employee. They took it outside to settle it. And judging by the police photos of Richardson, it appears Jewell gave as good as he got.
But at some point in the duker, Jewell took "a severe blow to the head," as police are describing it. That could mean he was hit by an object or -- more likely in cases like these -- was knocked down and smashed his head on the pavement.
"They had some words about a business decision," says Lt. Keith Meadows, head of Atlanta Police's homicide unit. "It seems like it was a struggle for power over the club."
Wow! My heart and prayers go out to Candi. Being a mother myself, we do know what is best for our children.
Lord, please give Candi strength to get through this horrible time. Amen!

Posted 10/09/2009 at 12:25:40 AMKandi; I hope you get to read this but, you are the only atlanta housewife that i like. The rest of them are extremely self centered and are clueless of what normal people go through in the world. This me, me and only me attitude that they carry is disgusting. I am glad to see that you are not like that and hope that you will always remain grounded like you are. I am sorry for your loss. I know that it is not easy to find "The One" but I also believe that God is in control and when one door closes, he opens up another one. Please know that we should always thank God for the times that we did get to spend with our loved ones. Wishing you all the strenght, courage & wisdom to continue pursuing your dreams.
a fan.

Sad he wasn't even safe stepping outside of his own establishment with an 'employee' to resolve a business issue. May you find peace and comfort in knowing he isn't suffering Khandi.

Posted 10/13/2009 at 12:54:43 PMI know what u are feeling and thinking what u could of said or maybe if u could of been with him that night maybe it wouldn't have happenned. I know you are feeling great pain, guilt and anger...maybe anger against ur mom because she didn't except him. Just remember like others have said, there's a reason for everything. God put AJ in ur life for a reason and when he was done his life was taken out of jealousy, but it was his time to leave. I believe he was a good man, ur angel for a moment, but no one understood it. He's in a good place with God and I truly feel he made it right with God before he left this place. Thank God for ur Mom. Mom knows best for any reason! Look to God and ur mom for guidance...wipe ur tears sister, we are so proud of you, your are here and YOU are here for a reson...make it happen!!!

My Prayers go out to Kandi and AJ's kids. I have no idea what it must feel like to lose someone you love that close to you. Everyone has a time set on this earth and it was just unfortunate that AJ's time was taken in this way.
Posted 10/15/2009 at 11:14:40 PMOur Sweetest Kandi, words can not express our heartfelt sorrow for your loss. We are sadened to know you are going through so much pain. Please know we love you girl, keep your head up and fly above. You just ask God to help lift your wings Baby. You and your family are in our hearts and prayers. Like everything else you've overcome you will get through this. We love you.
And may he rest in peace.
