AJ, Kandi’s Fiance from RHOA, Killed (UPDATE)
Update 10/3/09 11:28am (eastern): Police have arrested Fredrick Richardson as a person of interest and charged him with voluntary manslaughter. Click HERE for the article. Kandi also posted the following on her Twitter page:
I could never in a million years imagine this happening. Please pray for AJ’s children. That’s who I’m the most concerned for. I’m just in one of those moods where I don’t wanna talk, I don’t wanna be held & told it’s gonna be ok. I just wanna cry myself to sleep, alone.
Update 12:03 am (eastern): The AJC is NOW reporting that a brawl did indeed take place but have not released a name.
Update 12:12 am (eastern): WSBTV is NOW confirming the news surrounding AJ’s death. They are saying that he was stabbed.
I just received word that AJ, who was Kandi’s (RHOA) finance, was beat to death in a brawl at Body Tap Exclusive in Atlanta. My sources state that AJ was a promoter partial owner of the strip club and was hit in the head. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he passed away from his injuries. People who are currently inside the club are texting FROM the club but no additional information is available. Here is a tweet from Lil Bankhead of Atlanta’s V-103:
@LILBANKHEADV103: Rip to my nigga AJ. kandi atl house wife nigga. Damn pray for yall fam.
Definitely sad news. Developing…

omg… We were jus sittin here watchin them on RHOA saying how such a beautiful couple they are! I look at Kandi as a role model and a mentor for young women and it really bothers me to hear this information. I hopeveryone realizes just how short life is..and how all the petty drama is not worth it..Kandi you and your family are in my prayer!

Kandi im sorry for your loss and my prayers out to you and his family.
This is a darn shame that some AA men continue to be violent toward each other for some nonsense.
Men when will the violence stop, you took the life of a Father, son and a fiance.
You stole what his children should have been able to enjoy the life with their father.
I hope you SOB get whats coming to you.

No disrespect to her momma, but if she feels no sort of guilt or sympathy of his death, she's a heartless bitch.
Now Kandi, to me, is the realest one on the show, and it should be hard for her to cope with that, along with her fiance's son in ICU at the time.
The girls should definitely feel sorry for her after that. I'm pretty sure Lisa would, because she still couldn't handle her brother's death. Sheree cried when Kandi told her about A.J.'s son, so she might. Kim and Nene, however, are the mysteries.
Although i don't even know her in person, I'll prey for her.

that was very disrespectful TJ what you commentd about kandi’s mother…no! she shouldn’t feel guilty about what happend to AJ she may be feeling remorceful but she don’t have to feel guilty….what she felt for him when he was alive has nothing to do with what happend to him at that club she wasn’t the 1 that killed him…besides she was only exprssng her feelngs as Kandi’s mother toward the situation of him having so many kids and to many mothers of those kids so n sayng all that she’s still her mother!!

My heart goes out to Kandi and AJ’s family. May God keep your hearts and minds in perfect peace. We may not always understand the hand of God, but we need to know the heart of God.
