Law enforcement officials believe they’ve uncovered the body of 3-year-old Alabama girl Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney, who went missing from a birthday party in Birmingham 10 days ago.

The body, which has not been officially identified, was found in a dumpster, police said in a press conference.

The Birmingham Police Department also plans to charge two suspects, Patrick Stallworth, 39, and Derick Irisha Brown, 29, with capital murder and kidnapping, for their suspected involvement.

The two suspects were considered persons of interest after unrelated arrests last week: Stallworth on child pornography charges and Brown for violating probation from a previous kidnapping charge.

“Tonight our entire city is in mourning. Kamille is gone,” Birmingham Police Chief Patrick Smith said Tuesday. “I would like to thank the public for all of the information, all of the tips, all of the video and for their cooperation with this police department during the course of this investigation.”

Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin said no connection between the suspects and Kamille’s family had been found.

“We believe that this was something they thought about and acted upon and they saw an opportunity to take a young child, and they did,” Woodfin said Tuesday. “At this moment that we’re standing in, I ask one thing of this community: not to take sides and not to finger-point. But if there is any finger-pointing to do it is only at the perpetrator, who would kidnap an innocent 3-year-old.”

Police are still hoping to speak to a man seen in surveillance video who walked past two children, one believed to be Kamille, playing. The video showed another man, who the police named a suspect, approaching the children shortly before Kamille disappeared.

“The first man who walked by in the video, he may have pertinent information that will help us,” Chief Smith said. “This is the male we’re looking for ... we want to talk to him ... if he saw something that night that may be critical to the investigation.”

In a statement, Gov. Kay Ivey expressed her condolences to the family and thanked law enforcement.

“Given the tragic news that is breaking this evening, I offer my heartfelt condolences to Kamille’s family and profound thanks to law enforcement and all the volunteers who have worked tirelessly in search of this precious little girl,” Ivey wrote.

“The heart of our state is broken, but our resolve must be to do everything we can to avoid this tragedy from happening to another family. Our prayers are with Kamille’s family and all who have been touched by this nightmare.”
