A Milwaukee homicide victim has been identified as a well-liked fixture of the city's Black community who supported Black Lives Matter and President Trump.
Bernell Trammell, 60, was shot and killed Thursday afternoon in front of a storefront with signs in the window supporting Trump's reelection. according to reports. He ran a small business from the storefront.
A makeshift memorial grew in size at the spot where he was killed, according to Fox 6 Milwaukee.
"The guy was just full of love," Dick Nelson said, according to the station.
His last known conversation was with a blogger on the morning of the shooting.

The chat with Adebisi Agoro took place as Trammell held a sign that said "Wisconsin Vote Donald Trump 2020," the station reported.
"He's just a community figure," Agoro told the station. "I respected him just because he had a position…He's got his opinion on why he feels that way; and I'm not going to knock him."
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel quoted Reggie Moore, director of Milwaukee's Office of Violence Prevention, as saying that he recently intervened in a dispute between Trammell and a young man.
Moore thought the incident was related to a Trump sign that Trammell was carrying, the paper reported.
"He's a Black elder who didn't deserve to die the way that he did," Moore said.
Milwaukee police don't have a lot of information—or a motive, Fox 6 reported.
That didn't stop Andrew Hitt, chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin, from raising the possibility that the shooting could be politically motivated.
He called on federal prosecutors in Milwaukee to investigate in a statement.
"No American should fear for their personal safety because of where they live or their political affiliation," Hitt said.

This is the primary target of the left - Black Americans who won't believe what they are told to believe!
Bernell Trammell was a very brave man. I'm sure he knew his life was at stake.
Where's BLM now?
His life, like those or the kids Routinely shot in Chicago, or the little girl killed by blm protesters in Atlanta, doesn’t matter to progressives.
Your'e right - the kids routinely killed in Chicago seem to be of no concern to progressives. God knows the succession of progressive mayors Chicago has endured. The little girl killed by blm protesters is probably regarded as collateral damage. Bernell Trammell was targeted and executed.
Not been a good month for Wisconsin:
"Daniel Navarro, 27, is being held on a $1 million bond on charges of 1st Degree Intentional Homicide - Hate Crime - Use of a Dangerous Weapon and 1st Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety - Hate Crime. He made his initial court appearance in Fond du Lac County Thursday."
Just think, If Eric Holder was still DA Navarro wouldn't be charged with a hate crime, since Holder thought it only applied if the victims were a protected group.
A Fond du Lac man charged in a homicide hate crime says he intentionally swerved his truck into a motorcyclist because he believed Harley riders to be “white racists,” according to information released by the county sheriff Thursday.
Gee, Now why would he assume they were "white racists?" Too much CNN perhaps?
The victim was identified as Phillip A. Thiessen, 55. Thiessen, a 1983 graduate of L.P. Goodrich High School, was a Marine and later a police officer in Fairfax, Va. Later, Thiessen worked for the Wisconsin Department of Justice Internet Crimes Against Children unit.
You mean the victim was somebody to be admired? Someone who protected all of us?
Ya, Sean, I'd say it's been a bad month for Wisconsin!
I can only imagine how hysterical cnn etc. would have been if the races were reversed...
that would have been a black live that mattered.
Yup, front page news for all the media and more looting and rioting
For too many partisans on the Left, that black life just doesn't matter. In the same way, the NAACP doesn't care about conservative colored people, and NOW doesn't support conservative women.
Let's face it, Black Lives Matter is a separatist movement which wants things from the country based on race. It is the leading element of a revolution which old guard liberals and ever some moderates have been forced to join lest they too be taken down. Thus far the entire nation has been intimidated. Give a Conservative opinion in the workplace and you likely will lose your job. There is nothing opposing this revolution except for one man and every day I thank God he is there!
Tragic.
If there is a death that suits the agenda, protests, media coverage, blaming the USA and riots will results
What a tragic story. I hope they catch the guilty party and throw the book at him/her.
i must say, i am deeply touched by all the wonderful posts written by our liberal friends, in honor of Bernell Trammell. who stand up for and treat all minorities with such respect and equality.
No surprise there
But I have a few surprises for them.
