Kandi Burruss Ex-Fiance, A.J. Jewell, Killed in Strip Club Brawl

Tragedy has struck The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

A.J. Jewell, who was engaged at one point to Kandi Burruss, was killed Friday night during a brawl at an Atlanta strip club. A severe head injury ended his life.

"It appears he was involved in an altercation in the parking lot and he received a severe blow to the head," Atlanta Police Lt. Keith Meadows told TV station WBSTV.

RIP, Ashley Jewell.

A.J. often appeared on the show, fighting with Kandi's mom because she didn't approve of his relationship with her daughter.

Tweeted Burruss in response to her man's passing:

I could never n a million years imagine this happening. please pray for AJ's children. that's who im the most concerned 4.

NeNe Leakes, who often clashed with Kandi on air, also took to Twitter:
