Bernell Trammell, a well-known Black supporter of Donald Trump who was a community fixture known for his publishing company and long conversations on religion and politics, often delivered from street corners while holding pro Trump and other signs, was shot to death in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Trammell, 60, was gunned down on July 23 near the very spot where he gave a video interview a few hours before explaining why he supported Trump. Milwaukee police are seeking what they described as “unknown suspects.” The motive is not clear, including whether the slaying was tied into Trammell’s political beliefs or Trump support. Some news outlets gave the victim’s name as Bernell Tremmell, but he goes by Trammell on social media.
Kevan Penvose wrote on Facebook that Trammell “was a man with whom I hardly ever agreed about anything he wrote on his signs, but also, as a Rasta street preacher, he was one of the people that make my neighborhood so uniquely wonderful. Around 12:30 this afternoon I heard gunshots nearby as I was working at my dining room table. Soon after, I was reading reports on social media of a shooting around the block, at the location of this one-of-a-kind storefront that I’ve walked by a million times… Peace and light, Ras Bernell.”
Armstrong Ramsone (the pen name of local artist and writer Adebisi Agoro) wrote on the site The God Degree that he recorded video interviews with Trammell just hours before his death. “Earlier today he had mentioned to me ‘you wouldn’t guess the amount of hate I received from Black people,'” he wrote. Agoro became curious about Trammell’s political beliefs after seeing him at a bus stop and decided to ask “about what I saw on Facebook and why he was holding the Trump sign?” Agoro recorded videos of an interview he conducted that day in which Trammell, clutching a pro Trump sign, explains his political beliefs. You can see those videos here.
“I have encouraged Afro-Americans from all walks of life and culture here in Wisconsin and particularly here in Milwaukee to vote Donald Trump for this year. Trump 2020. I believe Trump is the sign of the times,” Trammell says in one of the videos, recorded outside his publishing business near the very spot where he would be shot a few hours later. He is standing in front of a “Wisconsin Vote Donald Trump” sign in that video.
“No less than two hours after I left from filming Ras Bernell I had heard word from Facebook that the someone in the area that Ras Bernell stays in had been shot,” Ransome wrote on The God Degree. “To my surprise it was Ras Bernell. The moment I had read the news I was attempting to upload the above videos used in this post onto my laptop for use…He was murdered right outside of his shop where we were just speaking. His home. Seemingly these were his last words.”

The President should publicize this murder and even attend his funeral.
The link has a lot of info and videos.
More about Trammell than you'll find any where else.
Black Lives Matter is the new BAAL, including kneeling at every event.
I agree. Blacks evidently don’t care about black Republicans. New day, same crap.
KKK, the terrorist arm of the democrat party killed as many whites as blacks, because they were Republicans.
What’s the matter with you people?!
This can’t be the murder of a Black person. Even Joe Biden said that if you vote for Trump you ain’t black
Later
“The motive is not clear...”
I think it is very clear.
I guess not all black lives matter.
“All Black Lives Matter”
I’m pretty sure that’s anti-BLM hate-speech.
Crazy world we live in.
And not one peep about this in the commie media..heck they are too busy celebrating since he was a Trump supporter therefore they are glad he is dead
Just like when a Muslim goes on a killing spree and screams “ALLAH AKBAR” and the cops say “We dont know the motive could be anything”
.
Leftists in their hearts see murder as acceptable.
.
Yep, this poor guy was assassinated. That’s what it was, an assassination.
Got that right.
SPJNK.
I haven’t seen it on MSM...
The MSM doesn’t want this story... they wouldn’t see it if you held it up in front of their pinched little faces and read it out loud...
(see tag)
Thanks for the link
Good idea! Hope it happens... If not, maybe Pence can do the honors...
