Milwaukee, WI — Bernell Trammell, a 60-year old Black man who was known in his community for his support of President Trump, was reportedly shot and killed in front of his store. The police are still searching for the unknown shooter.
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.
