A 4-year-old witness recalls her mom's final moments

"This is a bad daddy," 4-year-old Sania Scott said as she pointed at a photograph of her parents in her grandmother's Strawberry Mansion home yesterday.

She then slid her finger across the picture to her mother, LaRosa Gonzalez.

"This is a good mommy," she said.

Later, she took a notepad and scribbled something.

"Know what this says?" she asked. "Mean daddy."

She scribbled again.

"Know what this says?" she asked again. "Nice mommy."

Sania was in the back seat of her mother's car about 8:40 p.m. Saturday at a KFC/Taco Bell parking lot in North Philadelphia when her father, Willie Scott Jr., approached the vehicle and shot Gonzalez more than 10 times through the closed window, police said.

Sania watched as her father ran off and as her mother's body slumped lifelessly over the wheel.

"When I saw mommy's eyes were red, I knew she was dead," Sania said.

Scott turned himself in shortly after the shooting and was charged on Sunday with murder and related offenses.

Sania was placed in the care of Gonzalez's mother, Cecilia Gonzalez, who allowed the girl to speak with a Daily News reporter.

LaRosa Gonzalez's family said Scott, 29, had been stalking her since she broke off their seven-year relationship and moved out of his apartment a week-and-a -half ago.

Cecilia Gonzalez said that while she knew Scott to be controlling, she never expected that he would hurt her 24-year-old daughter.

He had threatened to commit suicide in the week leading up to the murder, but not homicide, she said.

"Nobody knew Will was like that," Cecilia Gonzalez said.

Scott and LaRosa Gonzales met on the Strawberry Mansion block where she grew up. At the time, LaRosa Gonzalez already had a son, Shamir Marshall, now 8 years old.

According to Cecilia Gonzalez, Scott was an unfaithful boyfriend who rarely came around Gonzalez's side of the family. She said she was happy to help her daughter move out of Scott's apartment on 19th Street near Ontario.

In that 10 days since leaving Scott, LaRosa Gonzalez was already bettering herself, her mother said.

The Strawberry Mansion High graduate and Ritz Camera sales associate was preparing to move into her own house, was dating a new man and had just bought a car.

Three days after buying the car, LaRosa Gonzalez was shot to death in it while her daughter and the 16-year-old daughter of a friend looked on in horror.

Sania said her mother was arguing with Scott on the phone as they drove to the restaurant that night. When he showed up at the KFC/Taco Bell on Hunting Park Avenue near Clarissa Street, Sania said, her mom was surprised.

According to Sania, her father tried to get her to come with him while they were in the restaurant but she refused. At some point, Sania claims, her father said: "I don't want my kid living in another man's house."

After Gonzalez and the two kids got back in the car, Scott approached the driver's side window with a gun, Sania said.

"Mommy said 'Are you really about to shoot?' and she rolled up the window," Sania recalled. "She ducked and he just started shooting."

Police said Gonzalez was shot more than 10 times in the head, neck and torso. The family believes it's a miracle that neither of the girls in the car was injured.

"It's a blessing that not one of those bullets hit Sania," said Gonzalez's aunt, LaRosa Armstead.

When Cecilia Gonzalez arrived at Temple University Hospital that night, they told her there was nothing more they could do for her daughter.

She said she informed the staff that her daughter's alleged killer worked "right here," in the hospital's dietary department.

LaRosa Gonzalez's son, Shamir, was still waiting for his mom to come back with Kentucky Fried Chicken when he was given the news by one of her friends.

Later that night, Shamir said yesterday, he confided in his great-aunt that he felt Scott had "taken everything away from me." *
