Bernell Trammell, a 60-year old Black man who was known in his community for his support of Donald Trump, was reportedly shot and killed in front of his store. The police are still searching for the shooter.
According to authorities, the incident happened while Trammell was sitting on the sidewalk of his publishing company.
An unknown shooter then gunned him down execution-style.
Trammell, who owned a publication called eXpressions Journal, was a known political activist and Trump supporter. He also advocated for the Black Lives Matter movement.
“Because of Trammell’s well-known political activism and the possibility that his murder could be politically motivated, I respectfully request that United States Attorney Matthew Krueger open an investigation,” Andrew Hitt, chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Meanwhile, no suspect has been in police custody since the shooting incident.
