KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Friends of a woman killed in a West Knoxville restaurant shooting Sunday are remembering her warmth and indomitable spirit.
26-year-old Alexis Clayton died after Knoxville police said a man shot and killed her and another employee, 50-year-old Rob Goebel, at Cazzy's Corner Grill off Northshore Drive Sunday morning.
Clayton made a name for herself in the local comedy community and was known by her friends and comedy colleagues as a genuine, "bright light" that could make anyone laugh.
