A vigil for Joseph Nagle was held Sunday night outside the Allegan County Jail.

The 22 year-old was shot and killed during a traffic stop for alleged impaired driving. According to the Allegan County Sheriff's Office— Nagle got into a fight with the deputy involved just before the shooting.

Those gathered yesterday asked for transparency in the investigation.

"...and if this officer has done something he shouldn't have did; we want justice for Joey Nagle," supporters said.

The deputy did not have a body-worn camera, or a dash camera. With no video of the stop, experts we spoke with say the investigation could be delayed.

Nagle's funeral was held Saturday in a private ceremony.
