Moberly community honors Bailey Scott’s life; raises money for her memorial fund
MOBERLY, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Moberly community is remembering the life of Bailey Scott through a number of memorial events on Friday. Scott died Sunday night after being shot in the 900 block of East Logan Street in Moberly.
"She was always the sweetest and she always complimented somebody, like anything about them. She was so fulfilling. Like her, her presence in a room," said Kylee Brooks, a friend of Bailey.
Scooter's Coffee in Moberly will donate 20% of its proceeds on Friday to Scott's memorial fund.
"Bailey was one of our regulars who come through all the time with our son. You know, it was just a morning thing that they did," said Corbyn Childs, Scooter's General Manager. "It's going to go mainly towards her son because they were just such a morning routine here with us that, you know, we just want to try to give back to him as much as we can."
The Boozy Badger Bar & Grill announced on its social media a balloon release for Scott on Friday as well.
"The donation box is on the table, and then we will empty the money out of that tonight and take it to the bank tomorrow," said Brooksie Mayville, owner of the Boozy Badger.
The restaurant also said 30% of its Friday sales will go towards Bailey's funeral costs and the Scott family.
David Kip Heyde, 68, of Moberly, was booked into the Randolph County Jail on Thursday, charged with second-degree murder in Scott's death. Heyde told troopers with the Missouri State Highway Patrol that Scott was trespassing on his property and acting erratically, even claiming she slapped him in the face, before shooting at her, according to a probable cause statement.
Heyde has since been transferred to Macon County. His first court appearance is set for Monday.
Scott's memorial service is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Moberly Seventh-day Adventist Church. A remembrance walk will take place at 7 p.m. Sunday; attendees are asked to wear purple.
