SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Loved ones held a vigil Monday night for a couple killed one year ago outside Antonio's Bar in South Bend.

Brandon Smith, 31, and 22-year-old Shae Zeiger were killed outside the bar on Franklin Street on December 19, 2021.

The victims' families are still seeking justice for the couple.  

"This is hard, I do not wish this on any parent," said Michael Smith, Brandon Smith's father. "I've been going through this for a year. We both have, and it's very stressful, the thing is they were wrongfully taken from us. But something needs to be done, for justice for all the kids out here. All I want to do is say if anybody knows anything, please call Crime Stoppers, anything that will help us get justice for Brandon and Shae."
