*Unfortunately, we have bad news about Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney.
The body of the 3-year-old girl who was abducted in Birmingham on Oct. 12, was found inside of a dumpster Tuesday, Police Chief Patrick Smith confirmed at a news conference Tuesday night.
Kamille was last seen at the Tom Brown Village housing community before she went missing.
Patrick Stallworth and Derick Irisha Brown, according to Smith, will be charged with capital murder and kidnapping in connection with Kamille’s disappearance and death.
However, investigators know of no link between the suspects and the girl or her family, Smith said.
“We believe this was something they thought about and acted upon. They saw an opportunity to take a young child, and they did,” said Smith, who did not reveal a potential motive.

Stallworth, arrested after officers located a vehicle seen near the abduction site, previously was charged with child pornography, but authorities said the charge wasn’t related to the missing child.
It wasn’t clear how long the child might have been dead. Mayor Randall Woodfin said the girl’s parents were experiencing “unimaginable” pain.
“This is a tough moment for our city, a tough moment for the family,” he said.
Gov. Kay Ivey, in a statement Tuesday night, offered her condolences to Kamille’s family.
“The heart of our state is broken…,” Ivey said. “Our prayers remain with Kamille’s family and all who have been touched by this nightmare.”
