Police say back in May, Donald Mills was shot to death in his home by two men pretending to be US Marshals.

“His picture is on there. That’s one thing about it, when they walk into that courtroom, they do have to look at his picture when they turn around. So I hope he haunts them until the day they die,” said Smith.
Friday, a grand jury indicted Patrick Baker and Christopher Wagner on charges of murder, robbery, unlawful imprisonment, impersonating a peace officer and tampering with evidence as well as four counts of wanton endangerment.
The indictment says Baker pulled the trigger that night. Smith says while Baker has been out of jail on house arrest since May, before being arrested in court Friday.
“I thought it was a very happy moment to see him arrested,” said Smith. “The way I look at it, you do the crime you do the time.”
Elijah Messer, Angela Mills and Stephanie Smith were also indicted on charges of murder and complicity to robbery for helping to plan or commit the robbery that caused Mills’ death.
While Smith isn’t sure when the five will go to trial, she says she’s willing to wait as long as it takes.
“If it takes two years for them to go to prison I’ll be there when they go,” said Smith.
All five pleaded not guilty to the charges.
