Florida Senate to vote on 'Miya's Law' for murdered Orlando teen - FOX 35 Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. - The Florida Senate is expected to pass legislation on Wednesday named in honor of a murdered Orlando college student.

"Miya's Law" aims to improve apartment safety, in part, by requiring background checks for apartment building employees.

Miya Marcano, 19, was reported missing after she did not board a scheduled flight from Orlando to Ft. Lauderdale on Friday, Sept. 24, 2021.

Police say 19-year-old Miya Marcano was killed by a maintenance worker who had a key to her apartment.

If the Senate approves "Miya's Law," it would head to the House.

Investigators said Miya was last seen on Friday, Sept. 24, at the Arden Villas apartments in Orlando. The prime suspect in her disappearance and death, 27-year-old Armando Manual Caballero, was reportedly found dead from an apparent suicide on Monday, Sept. 27.

Her body was then discovered after days of searching on Oct. 2. The final autopsy report said that Marcano died of "homicide by undetermined means."
