Suspect in AJ Jewell's Beating Death Released From Jail

The strip club worker accused of beating to death the ex-fiance of a "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cast member has been freed on bond.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that Frederick Richardson, pictured, was freed on $10,000 bond. He is charged with voluntary manslaughter for the death of Ashley "AJ" Jewell, who was engaged to Kandi Burruss until August.

AJ died Oct. 2 hours after getting into a fight with Frederick in the parking lot of the Body Tap strip club where they both worked. Frederick, who says AJ pulled a gun on him, is not scheduled to return to court until his case goes before a grand jury.

His attorney says AJ had an underlying medical condition that caused his death.
