Sweetie Pie’s owner James Timothy Norman has been arrested in connection to a murder-for-hire plot involving his late nephew.
James Timothy Norman, star of the former OWN show Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s, was arrested by federal agents for his alleged role in the 2016 shooting death of Andre Montgomery, his nephew, according to TMZ.
Prosecutors say that the restaurant owner took out a $450,000 life insurance policy on his nephew back in 2014. Afterward, he then teamed up with a woman named Terica Ellis to orchestrate the murder. Federal agents said the two kept in contact with one another through burner phones in the days leading up to Montgomery’s murder, which took place in St. Louis.
TMZ obtained documents that claim Ellis found out Montgomery’s location the day he was murdered and then contacted Norman. Montgomery was shot and killed shortly after on March 14, 2016. But Federal agents were able to track Ellis’s phone to an area near the scene of the crime. Following the victim’s murder, Ellis called Norman, escaped out of town, and deposited $9,000 in cash into different bank accounts, TMZ reports. Prosecutors say Norman ended up hitting up the life insurance company to collect the policy money.
