In the early morning hours of December 16, 2021, Rolando Saenz Jr., 39, was shot inside Cheers Pub in Roseland, a town near South Bend, Indiana, after an argument involving Saenz, two women, and another man turned physical. Surveillance footage from the bar shows the other man pulled a handgun; after being forced out by staff he returned, pointed the gun at Saenz and fired a single shot to the chest. Saenz was taken to a nearby hospital and later died of his injuries.

St. Joseph County investigators identified 31-year-old Michael Allen Miles of South Bend as the shooter within 48 hours, relying on witness accounts and the surveillance video. A search of Miles’ home reportedly produced clothing matching the video, a gun box and ammunition consistent with the evidence, and he was charged with murder and unlawful possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon.
