Teddy Edward Lee, who appeared on multiple episodes of My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding, was identified as one of the victims of a shooting in Alabama last week. The other victim was Teddy’s girlfriend, Brittany Taylor Brewer.
Birmingham Police received a call just after 7:30PM on Thursday, February 13 reporting gunfire and a person hanging out of a vehicle in the Inglenook neighborhood.
“At the scene, officers found a man and a woman in a vehicle who had been shot,” WVTM reported. “Both were pronounced dead by the Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service.”

Multiple social media accounts for fans of MBFAGW and Gypsy Sisters reported that one of the victims was Teddy Lee from the show, and that was later confirmed by Birmingham police on Sunday.
The full names and ages for the victims are Teddy Edward Lee Jr., 34, and Brittany Taylor Brewer, 33.
Teddy and Brittany’s relationship status at the time of their deaths is unclear. Brittany refers to Teddy as her “husband” on social media, but we do not know if they were legally married.
