A man has pleaded guilty to the murder of reality star Andre Montgomery from Welcome To Sweetie Pie.
Travell Anthony Hill, 30, pled guilty to conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and a separate count of murder-for-hire in the 2016 death on July 22, according to The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Hill’s plea bargain named two other people charged in the murder-for-hire scheme. According to reports, the victim’s uncle, James “Tim” Norman, “wanted Montgomery dead.” Terica Ellis, a stripper who apparently had a previous romantic connection with Norman, reportedly enticed Montgomery to the location where he was murdered, according to Hill. Hill was allegedly paid $5,000 to execute Montgomery.
Norman and Ellis were accused with murder conspiracy. Travell Anthony Hill will be sentenced in September and faces life in prison.
Montgomery, 21, was assassinated in 2016 outside of a St. Louis apartment building. According to reports, Norman, his uncle, took out three life insurance policies worth a total of over $450,000 on the victim and intended to cash them in just days after his nephew died.
According to WLBT, a disposable phone and cell phone metadata were utilized to connect Norman to the horrific murder.
The trial date for James ‘Timothy’ Norman is set for September 2022.
