City Council will probe the Philadelphia justice system’s procedures for “protecting victims of abuse and domestic violence” following the killing of 23-year-old Mount Airy resident Kada Scott. Prosecutors have charged Keon King with murder and other crimes for allegedly kidnapping Scott,

Mayor Cherelle Parker and other leaders spoke about safety concerns in the wake of Kada Scott's kidnapping and murder.

Prosecutors in Philadelphia say remains found buried in a wooded area behind an abandoned school are those of a 23-year-old woman who’d been missing for about two weeks.

The missing 23-year-old’s identity was confirmed through DNA testing, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said at a Monday news conference.

The family of Kada Scott has released a statement after police found her body during their search for her. “Dear friends, family, and supporters, it is with unimaginable sorrow that we confirm our daughter Kada Scott has been found deceased. Our hearts are broken beyond words,” the Scott family’s statement read.

Scott was last seen Oct. 4 after she left work early. Police say she met with a man who has since been charged in connection with her disappearance.

People from Philadelphia and beyond are coming together this week to support the family of Kada Scott, showing compassion through donations, prayers and acts of kindness. City Councilmember Anthony Phillips' office is spearheading the effort, collecting items to help the family during this difficult time.
