This weekend marks one year since a jeweler was murdered during a violent heist in Westport.

Friends gathering to remember Yekutiel Zeevi say they're still in shock over his death. Zeevi, owner of Y-Z Jewelers on Post Road, was shot and killed by Andrew Levene, who was eventually caught in Spain by international authorities. Levene later killed himself in prison.

A bench now sits outside the jewelry store, where loved ones say they come to reflect and leave tokens of remembrance.
