On Monday, a man followed Trammell around town holding a sign reading \u201cSike\u201d \u2014 local slang for \u201cnot!\u201d or \u201cas if\u201d \u2014 to counter it.<\/p>\n<p>Trammell \u201cdidn\u2019t have internet, he didn\u2019t have a phone, he didn\u2019t have a dime to his name,\u201d Agoro said. \u201cBut he got his message out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A new GOP outreach office \u2013 opened this year to try to make inroads into the African-American electorate \u2013 is just blocks from the building where Trammell lived and was killed, Hitt said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is personal,\u201d he told The Post.<\/p>\n<p>Hitt, a former Milwaukee prosecutor, turned to the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin Friday, in the face of silence from the city\u2019s police department.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know how these investigations work,\u201d he said. \u201cThe lack of information is concerning.
