As of now, he is held at a jail in Madison County, Mississippi, without any lieu. Both Norman and Ellis got charged with conspiracy to use interstate commerce facilities in 'commission of murder-for-hire,' which resulted in death.
The St. Louis police and the FBI are investigating the murder case that happened four years back in 2016.
The 2016's Murder Case of Andre Montgomery
The phone records obtained by the investigators show that Norman and the Memphis-based dancer named Teria Ellis had communication over the burner phones. The documents he further indicates that Ellis started contacting Montgomery and sent him her Instagram account handle, Alexusdagreat. She also texted him that she would be visiting him in St. Louis.
The email Ellis sent to Montgomery on 10 March 2016 reads, 'I'm on my way in town.'
The 41-year-old reality star (Norman) flew to St. Louis three days after the email was sent to Montgomery. He booked a room at the Chase Park Plaza hotel, and Ellis asked him to find where Montgomery was on the following day, on 14 March 2016. As the records obtained by the cell-phone investigations, Norman texted the house address; 3964 Natural Bridge Ave to Ellis.
At around 8:45 p.m., Andre Montgomery was shot to death at his house. Investigators believe that Ellis was there at the scene as she made a call to Norman just a minute after Montgomery got shot. Norman then flew back to Los Angeles early in the morning after the murder.
On the other hand, Ellis began depositing money, around $3,020, in a checking account, which had a negative balance. She also opened another savings account on the same day and kept $4,340. Similarly, Ellis credited another $1900 in the same account. She flew back to Los Angeles with her mother and daughter on 22 March 2016.
In the case of Tim Norman, he tried collecting Andre Montgomery's life insurance policy for around a week. He even called a bank on 21 March 2016 without the required documentation.
