According to authorities, Norman conspired with an exotic dancer, Teria Ellis of Memphis Tennessee, to have his nephew killed so he could reap the benefits of a $450K in life insurance policy he took out on him. He was listed as the sole beneficiary.

When Andre was killed in 2016, the news absolutely devasted Ms. Robbie who said she was glad that her grandson, “one of the beats of her heart”, left St. Louis after graduating high school. Unfortunately, he came back to visit briefly and that’s when he was murdered.

“Andre was like somebody that I wanted to take under my wing and make sure that he made it,” said Ms. Robbie during a “Welcome To Sweetie Pies” reunion taping. “St. Louis is a city where black men are killing each other and then he came back and was there four or five days and was killed.”

During the reunion taping, Tim himself also spoke out. on his nephew’s murder.

“Charles and I the only boys left,” said Tim. “We’ve lost the entire family to violence, you know.”

WOW.
