“Miya’s Law” In Honor Of Charles W. Flanagan High School Graduate, Miya Marcano College student Miya Marcano had been missing for over a week last year when her body was found not far from her home. She was last seen at the Arden Villas Apartment Complex in Orlando, where she lived. Miya was allegedly murdered by a man who worked in her apartment building. Nearly six months after the passing of the young college student, whose death shocked the Community, Florida Legislators passed a Bill Mandating Stronger Protections for Tenants and Landlord Responsibilities. The Law was sponsored by Repre-
sentative Robin Bartleman (DWeston) and Senator Linda Stewart (D-Orlando), and signed into Law last week by the Governor. The new Law is named in honor of Miya Marcano, a Graduate of Charles W. Flanagan High School in Pembroke Pines who was allegedly killed by a Maintenance Worker who used his Master Key to enter her Apartment. Miya was attending Valencia College in Orlando when it is believed she was murdered by Armando Caballero, a Maintenance Worker at the Arden Villas Apartment Complex where she lived and had access
to her Apartment. Caballero had expressed a romantic interest in Marcano but she rebuffed his advances. Caballero possessed a Key Fob to access Apartments and his was used at Marcano’s Unit just before her disappearance, Authorities said. During this time period, the suspect Armando Caballero was found dead of an apparent suicide. That happened the same day deputies in neighboring Orange County announced he had expressed romantic interest toward his co-worker Miya Marcano, 19 and he snuck into her apartment shortly before she went missing.
