<p>According to <em><a href="https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/crime/man-who-killed-nephew-of-sweetie-pies-founder-pleads-guilty-travell-hill-andre-montgomery-tim-norman/63-ae2704ac-7661-45d1-ac59-c6b98109bbf3">KSDK</a></em>, Travell Hill, 30, who was convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and another count of murder-for-hire, admitted to fatally shooting Andre back in March of 2016 in exchange for thousands of dollars. As <em><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/tim-norman-pleads-not-guilty-in-murder-for-hire-case-involving-the-death-of-his-nephew/">previously</a></em> reported, <strong><a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/sweetie-pies-owner-tim-norman-charged-with-conspiracy-in-alleged-murder-for-hire-plot-in-the-death-of-his-nephew/">Tim Norman</a></strong>, Andre&#8217;s uncle, who is also the son of Robbie Montgomery has been accused of being a co-conspirator in his nephew&#8217;s death.</p>
<p>In his plea deal, Hill says he met Tim near the Clinton-Peabody Housing Complex south of downtown St. Louis to have a &#8220;discussion,&#8221; and after their meeting, &#8220;it was Hill&#8217;s understanding that Norman wanted Hill to kill Montgomery.&#8221; Back in 2020, Tim pled not guilty to federal charges alleging that he was involved with the incident.</p>
<p>Tim and Terica Ellis are charged with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and murder-for-hire. They are accused of purchasing prepaid cellphones to communicate about the murder.</p>
<p>Hill said he obtained a .380 caliber semiautomatic handgun to commit the murder because it &#8220;was small and could be easily concealed inside his sweatshirt.&#8221; He had gotten the handgun from someone who lived near his apartment, that person was not named in the plea.</p>
