Milwaukee Police this week released surveillance photographs showing a man officers believe shot Bernell Trammell to death on July 23.
Trammell, 60, a supporter of Republican President Donald Trump, was killed in broad daylight.
The Milwaukee Police Department said it is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect.
Surveillance images showed a man wearing a red and white baseball cap, a red and black long-sleeve shirt with white writing on the front, light-colored pants, black socks, and white shoes.
The man also wore a black mask that was covering the lower portion of his face.
He was described as a male in his 30s, 6’0″, weighing 200 pounds.
The man traveled to the shooting on a bicycle, police said. Two images showed the man riding the bike.
Anyone with information should call the Milwaukee Police Department at 414-935-7360 or Milwaukee Crime Stoppers at 414-224-TIPS where their tip can lead to a cash reward.
“This incident is still under investigation and the motive of this homicide is still under determination,” police said in a statement.
Because of Trammell’s open support for Trump, the Wisconsin Republican Party called for a federal probe into the murder, saying the killing may have been politically motivated.
“No American should fear for their personal safety because of where they live or their political affiliation,” Andrew Hitt, chairman of the party, said in a statement.
Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) in Washington on Tuesday said he wasn’t sure whether the state’s attorney general or the mayor of Milwaukee were going to pursue “what appears to perhaps be a political execution.”
If city and state officials do not act, Attorney General William Barr told Tiffany that the federal government would look into the killing.
The offices of Attorney General Josh Kaul and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, both Democrats, didn’t immediately respond to inquiries.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) last week sent condolences to Trammell’s family and friends, adding, “I hope they get answers and justice soon.”
PING!
bttt
No MAGA hat. Fully covered, shows he knew there would be cameras, and he may have stuffed his clothing to look larger than he actually is. They, Antifa and BLM, will disown him for sure, and turn it around and say it was a false flag. Republicans don’t knock off informers, or leakers, that’s a Democrat MOI.
Its July the perp makes it look like January.
Could be DS hit?
Prayers for Mr. Tramell's family.
Looks to be more than 200 pounds. It was a mob style hit.
This flabby a-hole thinks he’s going to get away with it. Figure he could just sneak in and murder Bernell.
No doubt was planning this for a long time.
Wow, he is very concealed! Someone would have to know him from his clothing, or from his bragging about killing Trammel. You can hardly see any features of his face.
good point, what was the outdoor temp during the shooting?
Too late.
There is the “get away bicycle” too.
He might. Rate of unsolved murders is pretty high, and this guy could be a few states away. As you noted, "mob style." This wasn't sloppy, and it wasn't random.
Good point. I keep trying to see what his shirt/jacket says. It’s very hard to make out with those photos.
Yep, gloves, face mask, looks black but couldnt even be sure of that from the photos. Definitely a planed hit, not a drive by.
Someone would have to know him from his clothing, or from his bragging about killing Trammel.
Outside temp running mid to upper 80s and he is wearing gloves and a jacket?
.
But wait! They don't care about blacks murdering blacks! There's no money in it!
(never mind)
Bttt.

Bicycle likely discarded.
In years past, Bicycles had to be registered. Then police had better things to do than find stolen bicycles. Thousands left Miami aboard tramp steamers for Haiti.
