On New Year’s Day 2025, a home invasion in Northfield Township, Michigan, ended in the deaths of 48-year-old Jennifer Lyn Bernhard and her 74-year-old father, Stevie Ray Smith. Three armed intruders forced their way into the Bernhard residence on Nollar Bend Road with the stated intent of taking a 4-year-old foster child. Jennifer’s husband, Jeffrey Alan Bernhard, was shot and survived.

The assailants abducted the 4-year-old foster child and the Bernhards’ 9-year-old biological daughter before fleeing. Law enforcement located and arrested the three suspects in Ypsilanti Township; authorities recovered two shotguns and a handgun in the suspects’ vehicle. The suspects were identified as Shuvonne Vinson, 37, Gregory Callhan, 37, and Keith Finley, 60.

All three face multiple felony charges, including two counts of open murder, two counts of kidnapping, assault with intent to murder, home invasion, and various conspiracy and weapons offenses. The two children were found safe. Anyone with information about the Bernhard family or the incident is asked to come forward.
