Reports surface of Tim Norman’s arrest in the death of Andre Montgomery
In a shocking turn of events, Norman is currently in prison for allegedly having a role in Andre’s death. A Riverfront Times report reveals that the FBI is charging Norman and others with murder for hire.
The report alleges that two years prior to Andre’s death, Norman took out life insurance policies on his nephew totaling $450,000 life insurance. The policies reveal Norman as the sole beneficiary.
Reports also reveal Norman’s attempt to take out other policies on Andre. The other applications were flagged for including fraudulent information regarding Andre’s income and occupation.
