PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Kada Scott, the young woman kidnapped and murdered last year in Philadelphia, will now be honored every year on her birthday.
Lawmakers in Harrisburg approved a bill on Wednesday that recognizes every Nov. 18 as Kada Scott Day. Her parents were in attendance when the bill passed 202 to 1.
The 23-year-old disappeared from her job at an assisted living facility in Philadelphia's Chestnut Hill neighborhood on Oct. 4, 2025. Her remains were found more than two weeks later in a shallow grave in a wooded area behind the vacant Ada Lewis Middle School in East Germantown.
Police said Scott died from a gunshot wound to the head.
Keon King, the man charged in her murder, has a court date next month.
