BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Talented, God-fearing and happy. That's how friends and family describe 32-year-old Alexis Navaroli, who was killed in Cheektowaga on Sunday.

"Just a loving, beautiful soul, I just can't comprehend it still, honestly," said Dunny Gage, her close friend.

She was found Sunday afternoon by police on Walden Avenue. Witnesses say she was hit by a car, and gunshots were fired by the driver of that vehicle, but police have not said what caused her death.

I met with her family members to learn more about her life.

"My beloved daughter Alexis," said her mother Patricia. "You will forever be in our hearts, my mind, my soul and my spirit. You were that light."
