Tremayne Trell Montgomery, 40, died late on April 4, 2026, after a confrontation at Fremos, a Milwaukee bar on West Fond du Lac Avenue. Police were called about 11:50 p.m. and found Montgomery outside with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Prosecutors say a fight in the bar’s bathroom between Montgomery and Montrel Calhoun was broken up by security and moved outside, where surveillance video allegedly captured Calhoun firing eleven shots and Montgomery being struck nine times.

The recording and witness accounts also allegedly show Calhoun standing over Montgomery after he fell, stomping and kicking his head and striking him with the firearm; the medical examiner documented blunt-force injuries plus facial lacerations and abrasions in addition to the gunshot wounds. Authorities located Calhoun the next day and say he resisted, holding a kitchen knife toward his own neck before being tasered and arrested. Prosecutors charged Montrel Calhoun with first-degree intentional homicide, possession of a firearm by a felon and felony bail jumping; cash bond was set at $250,000 and a preliminary hearing was reported for April 17, 2026.

Family members held a candlelight vigil and described Montgomery as devoted to his family, owner of a cleaning business, a pool player, father of four and grandfather of two. Does anyone who was at Fremos that night or who knows Montgomery have information to share?
