The Moberly community will be coming together to remember the life of a woman who was shot and killed last Sunday.

Local restaurant, the Boozy Badger, along with friends and family, will be remembering the life of Bailey Scott, 23, with a balloon release at 7 p.m. Friday. The Boozy Badger will be donating 30% of bar sales toward funeral costs.

Other local businesses are also doing what they can to honor Scott. Scooters will donate 20% of its sales on Friday to Scott’s family.

A remembrance walk is also planned for 7 p.m. Sunday, starting at the Auto Zone parking lot. Friends and family are asking people to wear purple, which was Scott's favorite color.

A Moberly man is facing a second-degree murder charge in connection with Scott's death. David Heyde, 68, was booked into the Randolph County jail Thursday night.

Heyde lives in the area where a 23-year-old woman, Bailey Scott, was shot dead Sunday night. Randolph County Prosecutor Stephanie Luntsford told ABC 17 News on Thursday that Heyde was charged in Scott's death. Charges have yet to appear on Casenet.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol is investigating the shooting at the request of Moberly police. Heyde has an expired peace officer's license, and City of Moberly records say he was once an employee there. Further details about his employment were not available because records more than 20 years old are not maintained.
