Grief-stricken relatives pay tearful tribute to Ariela Navarro-Fenoy

Friends and family members gathered today to mourn Ariela Navarro-Fenoy, the 26-year-old woman killed last week in a shooting outside Muzik nightclub. 

"I need answers now," said Ariela's father Victor Navarro before heading in to the funeral at St. Jude's Roman Catholic Church on Weston Road.

Ariela's sister Aluen said her family is struggling to come to terms with the loss of a girl she described as a "free spirit" who "lived life to the fullest."

"She was a beautiful girl that would do anything for her family and friends. She was able to connect with anyone she met." 

Family friend Wichita Espina was distraught as she headed in to the church.

"They are a lovely family, it's not fair that this happened to them," she said. 

Navarro-Fenoy died after she was shot near Dufferin Gates as the crowd was leaving the club following an after-party for Drake's OVO Fest.

The woman's friend said that the two were trying to leave the area, but a Toronto taxi refused to give them a ride because the fare was not high enough. Police are also reviewing what happened on the night of the shooting with the force's paid duty officers, as well as performing an overall evaluation of the club's security.

Duvel Hibbert, 23, was also killed in a shooting inside the club that happened moments before Navarro-Fenoy was shot outside.

Police say they're looking for two men who they considered to be persons of interest in the case but so far there have been no arrests.
