Five years after 19-year-old college student Miya Marcano was killed, her family and friends gathered in Pembroke Pines Saturday to remember her life and ensure her name and legacy are never forgotten.Loved ones held a memorial procession through the city, displaying Marcano’s name and photo on banners along the route to her alma mater, Flanagan High School.A banner also flew through the sky with the message, “Miya you are forever in our hearts. We love and miss you.”Marcano’s family said the gathering was about honoring the South Florida native while also continuing to raise awareness about Miya’s Law, legislation inspired by her death.“And she didn’t die in vain,” Marcano’s aunt, Semone Westmaas, said. “So we’re going through Pembroke Pines, as she was given the key to the city, we had a few banners up on the cars.
We want everyone to see her, remember her, and look up what Miya’s Law is all about. It’s important for tenants.”Miya’s Law was signed in 2022 and strengthened safety requirements for renters. The law requires background checks for apartment employees, key-tracking procedures and more notice before workers enter rental units.Marcano was last seen at her Orlando apartment complex, where she lived, in September 2021.Her body was found more than a week later.Authorities believe Armando Caballero, a maintenance worker at Marcano’s apartment complex, was responsible for her death.Caballero died by suicide three days after Marcano disappeared.
