"I don't even know if I can do this right now. There are no words other than he was a beautiful young man," Steven's Godmother Debra Greene said before the vigil.

Prayers were offered to Steven, the community and for the suspect who remains on the loose.

"Please forgive the person who did this but please send him to where he belongs," Greene prayed.

Others came forward in prayer as well, "We ask you to be with South Bend. There is too much killing," an unidentified man said.
