Kandi Burruss, one of the Real Housewives of Atlanta, has lost her ex fiance, Ashley "A.J." Jewell after he was killed during a fight outside a nightclub.

Jewell reportedly got into an altercation outside an Atlanta strip club The Body Tap Club where he suffered a "severe blow to the head." He later died at the hospital of his injuries.

James Polite, a rep for the Atlanta PD says that Fredrick Richardson has been arrested and charged with voluntary manslaughter in the death of Jewell. Richardson was hospitalized after the brawl and will be taken into custody once he is released.

Burruss is apparently devastated and released the following statement: "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."
