A 15-year-old Stone Mountain girl remained in critical condition Wednesday after being shot in the head in what police believe was a road rage incident.

Fox 5 Atlanta identified the girl as Asheley Jewell, daughter of the late A.J. Jewell, a "Real Housewives of Atlanta" personality killed in 2009 outside an Atlanta strip club.

About 10:30 p.m. Saturday, Fulton County police said, two vehicles were traveling on Old National Highway near Jerome Road when one started chasing the other. Shots were fired and the 15-year-old girl, a passenger, was struck in the head.

The victim was rushed to an area hospital and underwent surgery.

"Investigators are looking into every possible motive as well as attempting to gain surveillance video from surrounding businesses for a closer description of the perpetrators' vehicle," Det. Melissa Parker said.

Anyone with information on the incident is urged to call Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-8477.

On Oct. 2, 2009, Ashley "A.J." Jewell died after he and another man fought in the parking lot of the Body Tap, police said. A strip club employee was charged with voluntary manslaughter, but the charge was later dropped after it was determined that Jewell died from a sickle cell crisis.

Jewell was the former fiance of "Housewives" cast member and singer/songwriter Kandi Burruss.
