Kandi Burruss and Fiance A.J. Jewell
The fiance of Kandi Burruss, a cast member on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," was killed Friday evening at a northwest Atlanta strip club, according to WSB Atlanta.
Burruss' fiance, A.J. Jewell, died from a head injury sustained in a brawl at the Body Tap club, located at 1271 Marietta Blvd.
Burruss' publicist Lisa Nelson confirmed to WSB that the actress has been informed of the incident and said the family asked for privacy.
Burruss, an award-winning singer-songwriter and former member of the ’90s R&B group Xscape, has had numerous disagreements with her mother on the show regarding her relationship with Jewell.
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.
