Yesterday it was reported Real Housewives of Atlanta reality star and singer Kandi Burress’ former fiance, AJ Jewell, killed in fight outside of popular strip club Body Tap in Atlanta in which he was part owner.

Here’s what Burress told Eonline:

“I am devastated by the loss of A.J. His death comes on the heels of the death of my beloved Uncle Ralph and with both of them gone, my heart is heavy with grief,” she said in a statement to E! News.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of my family and friends—and that means my Twitter and Facebook friends as well—for the beautiful words of encouragement, prayers, and the sweet condolences. I make it through these difficult days because of you,”

Burress has experienced so much loss in such a short period of time. My prayers and my condolences go out to her, his six children and all of Ashley “AJ” Jewell’s family.

Fortunately the Atlanta Homocide Detectives acted fast and were able get an early break in the case which resulted in the arrest of Fredrick Richardson and charged with voluntary manslaughter.
