Philadelphia — The murder of 23-year-old Kada Scott, a former Miss Pennsylvania USA contestant and beloved nursing student, has taken an even darker turn. What began as a tragic case of abduction and murder may now point to something far more sinister — a murder-for-hire plot involving multiple suspects and a chilling cover-up.
 BREAKING DEVELOPMENTS
Police sources confirm that investigators are now pursuing leads suggesting Keon King, the 21-year-old already charged with Kada’s abduction and murder, may not have acted alone. Evidence points toward a coordinated operation, possibly orchestrated by another man — Kada’s boyfriend, identified as “Ramir” (a.k.a. Taz) — who may have had both the motive and means to arrange her death.
 THE FINAL HOURS
Kada was last seen alive on October 4, 2023, leaving her nursing home job in North Philadelphia. Surveillance footage later placed Keon’s gold Toyota Camry near the location where her body was found — a shallow grave behind an abandoned Germantown school.
Phone records confirm that Kada and Keon exchanged messages minutes before her disappearance, and within nine minutes of her last text, she was shot once in the head.
 THE HITMAN THEORY
Investigators believe Keon may have been “the muscle” in a larger plot — a contract killing disguised as a personal dispute.
- Ramir, a local landscaper with a history of assault and conspiracy charges, is now under scrutiny.
- His home lies directly along the path Keon took after the murder, raising serious suspicions.
- Detectives are examining financial transactions and call logs to determine whether money changed hands before the killing.
 COVER-UP SUSPECTS
The widening investigation has also ensnared two women — Lishia Lopez and Meline Brown — believed to have helped conceal Kada’s body. Authorities recovered potential evidence at their residence linking them to the burial site, including tools and clothing fibers consistent with items found at the scene.
 A COMMUNITY IN SHOCK
Kada’s death has rocked Philadelphia, igniting outrage and heartbreak. Friends describe her as “driven, kind, and radiant.” At a candlelight vigil near the crime scene, hundreds gathered chanting, “Say her name — Kada Scott!”
Family members have called for the investigation to be expanded, insisting that everyone involved be brought to justice.
“We won’t rest until we know every person who played a part,” a family spokesperson said. “Kada deserves the truth.”
 WHAT COMES NEXT
Authorities are now re-examining digital evidence, analyzing phone data, and tracing connections between all four suspects. Federal agencies may assist if the murder-for-hire allegations prove credible.
The Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office has not commented on whether additional arrests are imminent, but sources say the case is “rapidly evolving.”
 THE QUESTIONS THAT HAUNT THE CITY
- Was Kada Scott murdered in a planned hit ordered by someone she trusted?
- Did fear drive her final days, as friends have claimed?
- And how many people helped bury the truth — along with her body?
This case has become a rallying cry for justice, accountability, and reform. As the investigation deepens, one thing is clear: the story of Kada Scott is far from over.
