“Welcome to Sweetie Pies” star and producer James Timothy Norman has been arrested on federal charges stemming from the 2016 killing of nephew, 18-year-old Andre Montgomery.

Norman, 41 — who starred on the popular OWN reality series with his mother and family — was charged with conspiracy to use interstate commerce facilities (a cellphone) in the commission of a murder-for-hire, resulting in death, WAPT reports. The reality star was charged by a federal complaint on August 11 and was placed under arrest Tuesday in Jackson, Mississippi. He is currently being held in the Madison County Detention Center.

Federal authorities claim that in 2014, Norman secured a $450,000 life insurance policy on his teenage nephew, making himself the sole beneficiary. According to the complaint, Norman is believed to have conspired with an exotic dancer named Terica Ellis — as well as others — to set Montgomery up to be murdered.

In the days leading up to his death, Ellis, residing in Memphis, Tennessee, communicated with Montgomery that she planned to meet him in St. Louis. On March 13, 2016, the day before Montgomery’s murder, Norman allegedly also flew to St. Louis himself from his home in Los Angeles.

The following day, Ellis and Norman allegedly used temporary phones to communicate with each other, as well as to track Montgomery’s whereabouts. Immediately after learning of his location, Ellis placed a phone call to Norman.

By 8 p.m., Montgomery was shot and killed.

In the days following the murder, Ellis deposited over $9,000 in cash into various bank accounts. Months later, Norman is said to have contacted the life insurance company in an attempt to collect on the policy he obtained on his nephew.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Section and FBI are investigating these current charges.
