The victim was Alexandra Ayala. That is when police say Ayala was hit, then the driver kept going. “Just the fact that she was left in the street like an animal, you know," said Angela Jackson, Ayala's mother. Ayala had down syndrome. She left in the middle of the night, while her mother was sleeping. In their pain, Ayala’s family has a message for the driver. “You will never know what you took from us. We will never have her to get those wet kisses, those sweet hugs,” Jackson said. While the family searches for answers, they are remembering the sweet moments they shared with Ayala and trying to find peace. “I think that's the hardest part right now, just knowing that she's gonna be gone, but I know that she is in a better place,” said Alyssa Williams, Ayala’s older sister. Now, she's an angel in heaven,” Jackson said. Ayala’s mother said she will hold no ill will towards the driver but is just asking for that person to come forward. Police believe the type of car that hit her is a 2007 to 2009 Mazda CX-7. Police are not sure of the color but said it may have damage to the front end. Source: kfor.com
