ATLANTA -- Kandi Burruss, the newest cast member of the hit reality show, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” is coping with the tragic death of her fiance, Ashley “A.J.” Jewell, who has been featured regularly on the show.
Burruss' publicist, Lisa Nelson, confirmed to WSBTV.com reporter Brian Johnson that the incident has left the Atlanta housewife stunned and speechless.

Atlanta police told Channel 2 Action News that Jewell received a severe head injury during a fight at The Body Tap Club in the 1200 block of Marietta Boulevard in Atlanta.
"It appears he was involved in an altercation in the parking lot and he received a severe blow to the head," said Atlanta Police Lt. Keith Meadows.Meadows said Jewell 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.
"We have developed a person of interest and we've made contact with him to question him about the incident," said Meadows.
