ATLANTA -
A memorial fund has now been set up for a mother and daughter killed in southwest Atlanta.
People can make donations to the Demiya and Shatikey Griffin Memorial Fund at any Wells Fargo Bank.
Police believe Shatikey's fiancé, Joseph Smith, killed them over the weekend along with his girlfriend, Loveitt Wallace.
The victims' relatives say they believe smith was living a double life, and they find the crimes particularly shocking since they say Smith never showed any signs of violence.
A candlelight vigil will be held Thursday at 6:30 p.m. for Shatikey and her daughter at Frederick Douglas High.
