Was Sweetie Pie star Tim Norman convicted?

After years of investigation, police finally made an arrest in the case in 2020: Sweetie Pie star and Andre's uncle, James Timothy Norman.

Tim Norman, 43, was found guilty on all charges by a St Louis jury on Friday, September 16, 2022.

Norman was convicted of two counts of federal murder-for-hire and one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud.

According to St Louis Times-Dispatch: "Norman orchestrated the 2016 murder of his 21-year-old nephew, Andre Montgomery, then attempted to cash out up to $450,000 in a fraudulent life insurance policy he took out on Montgomery about 18 months before the death, the jury decided."

Who else was arrested?

An exotic dancer named Terica Ellis was also arrested and charged with the same crime.

What did Terica and Tim do?

According to a criminal complaint, the Federal authorities alleged that the former star conspired with the exotic dancer and another unnamed person to obtain a $450,000 life insurance policy after his nephew's death.

Tim was the sole beneficiary of the several life insurances he had taken out in 2014.

According to authorities, Terica and Tim traveled from their respective homes in Memphis and Los Angeles to St Louis after Terica told Andre she would be in town.

The pair allegedly used burner phones to plan the murder and traveled to St Louis on the day of the incident.

Terica told Andre that she would be in town while also figuring out where he was staying.

She then called Tim to let him know the location of his nephew.

At around 8pm that evening, Andre was shot and killed outside of the recording studio after he stepped out to take a phone call.

Terica's phone location information placed her in the same area where the murder happened, according to cops.

Terica allegedly deposited $9000 in cash into various bank accounts.
