Choir supports family of Kamille ‘Cupcake’ McKinney
[…]

In the spirit of love and charity, the Evelyn S. Hardy Men of Distinction Male Chorus of Sixth Avenue Baptist Church presented a love offering of song and a Thanksgiving basket to the family of Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney.

[…]

VS, director of male chorus for the church, said when the attention fades, families who experience a sudden loss like McKinney’s family often feel forgotten and wanted the McKinney family to know that they’re still praying for them as “Cupcake” will never be forgotten.

“We also want to know that we’re thinking of them during this time of the year and that we’re going to be there for them,” he said.

The presentation was held at the home of Kamille’s grandmother house.

Testimony: Drugs found in Kamille McKinney’s decomposed body
[…]

Testimony and questioning by Stallworth’s defense attorney, Derrick Collins, indicated Stallworth has told detectives he had nothing to do with the abduction or killing of Kamille.

Instead, Stallworth’s attorney indicated, Brown was solely responsible and Stallworth lied because of his love for Brown. Collins has previously said Brown has made statements implicating Stallworth and it was disclosed Tuesday that it was Brown who told detectives where Kamille’s remains could be found.

[…]

Five minutes after buying the candy, two preteen girls were leaving cheerleading practice from Hayes K-8 when the two approached them in a blue SUV, Ross said. One of the girls, age 11, reported Stallworth told her, "I’m looking for a girl that looks like you,'' Ross testified.

The girls said the man offered them candy. They became apprehensive and the other girl said, “Let’s go.” There was security video from Hayes to back up their story, but it was not close enough to show the occupants. The girls described the female with the male as “dark-skinned” and “chunky.”

[…]

Other children told police a man in a vehicle that matched Stallworth’s SUV was giving out candy in the housing community, and said eventually Kamille got into the vehicle with them. “She was crying,” Ross testified a 10-year-old boy told him.

[…]

… Phone records put Stallworth at Tom Brown Village at the time of the abduction, and it was Stallworth who had a prescription for Trazodone. Also on the night of the abduction, testimony showed, Stallworth went to a convenience store near his home to buy an energy drink and a pill for erectile dysfunction.

New details emerge about kidnapping, killing of Kamille "Cupcake" McKinney

Dec 10, 2019

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. —

A Jefferson County Circuit Court judge on Tuesday ruled he has found enough probable cause to send the capital murder case of Patrick Stallworth, the man accused of kidnapping and killing 3-year-old Kamille "Cupcake" McKinney, to a grand jury.

[..]

Prosecutors said the DNA of Stallworth, Brown and McKinney was found in blood stains on a plastic sheet around a mattress laying in the living room of Brown's apartment.

[..]

[Detective] Ross admitted that Brown's hints of McKinney's body being left in a nearby dumpster helped a specialized FBI unit to find her remains after emptying a large construction trash bin out in a Jefferson County landfill.

According to Ross, Stallworth originally lied about knowing anything about McKinney's disappearance.

However, after her body was found, he admitted to offering children candy at the Tom Brown Village the night she vanished and his chilling account of watching the young girl die.

After returning to Brown's apartment, Ross said Stallworth told them he first saw the child with Brown on the couch watching television.

[..]

An autopsy report showed no signs that the child was sexually assaulted, thought prosecutors said the level of decomposition of McKinney's body could have impacted the ability to prove abuse.

The detective also said Stallworth watched Brown, 'place her hands over Cupcake's nose and mouth' and the girl was asleep.

When police asked Stallworth what he meant by asleep, he clarified that she was dead.

Under cross examination, Detective Ross told Stallworth's attorney Derrick Collins that his client had cooperated that the suspect never remembered seeing the girl in the Toyota Sequoia the couple had been seen riding in.

Ross also testified that Stallworth's DNA was not found on McKinney's body.

Brown's preliminary hearing is scheduled for Friday morning before Judge Jones. [Dec 13, 2019]. bbm

Meth, sedative found in Kamille ‘Cupcake’ McKinney’s body, court testimony reveals
[...]

According to the prosecution’s argument, the evidence reveals Stallworth and Brown were together for the entirety of the Saturday McKinney disappeared. They say, around noon that day near Tom Brown Village, Stallworth and Brown offered candy to middle school girls. Surveillance video shows Stallworth purchasing candy at a Shell station near Tom Brown just minutes before interacting with the girls. Surveillance video from a Center Point Parkway gas station also shows Stallworth purchasing a pill for erectile dysfunction and an energy drink later that night. Prosecutors said phone records substantiate Stallworth’s admission that he was at the Tom Brown Village on Oct. 12. Stallworth admitted to giving children candy at the housing authority, prosecutors said. The prosecution also pointed to a video from a Tom Brown resident showing an interaction between a man and children, who then follow him off-camera.

During lead homicide Detective Jonathan Ross’ testimony Tuesday, he said children told Birmingham police investigators they saw McKinney get into a vehicle matching the description of Stallworth’s SUV. The children said the driver had been handing out candy at Tom Brown Village, Ross testified.

Three children under the age of six have died in violence in a span of less than six months in Birmingham, and the parents of those lost are pleading for it to stop.

[…]

On Monday, Michael Coleman shared on Facebook an illustration done Louis Tolbert with photos of TJ, Kamille “Cupcake” McKinney and Jurnee Coleman, accompanied by the caption “Birmingham, Our Angels.”

[…]

“All of it is senseless. They didn’t do anything to harm anybody or anything,’’ he said. “They had no sins, but I guess God had a better plan for them all.”

[…]

Both fathers said they like to think that Jurnee, Kamille and TJ are together in Heaven. “TJ’s an angel now just like the rest of them,’’ McKinney said.

Autopsy: Kamille ‘Cupcake’ McKinney was given meth, sedative
[…]

According to the defense, there was no DNA evidence of a sexual assault and no indication that she was killed or abducted by Stallworth. The defense claims he went to sleep at his apartment and upon waking, saw Brown and McKinney on the couch. Stallworth then told Brown to take McKinney back home before he fell asleep again, the defense said. According to the defense, when Stallworth woke up, Brown was next to him in bed, and there was no sign of the child.

Prosecutors said Stallworth was interviewed multiple times and denied knowing anything about McKinney. After her body was found, he told investigators a different story. His defense says he lied in earlier interviews because “he loved Brown.” The defense says Stallworth’s presence at his apartment is not evidence of a crime and that it was Brown who told investigators where to find McKinney’s body.
