A missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from Utah has died after getting hit by a car in North Carolina, officials confirmed. Elder Aleki Langi, 18, died Thursday in Charlotte after a car lost control and veered onto the sidewalk, hitting Langi and another missionary, church spokesman Sam Penrod said in a statement. Langi is from Magna and played football at both West High School and Cyprus High School, where he graduated in 2024. In a statement, his family told KSL TV he was “respectful, loving and loyal.”
