And to clarify, Kamille died by asphyxiation by suffocation.

Rumors online have swirled she was drowned. That is NOT TRUE. This case has fueled so much misinformation and it's important to not listen to rumors and know who you are getting information from.

Funeral set for Kamille ‘Cupcake’ McKinney
[...]

The funeral is planned for New Beginning Christian Ministry, where pastor Sylvester Wilson said the church has a 700-seat sanctuary and can use its fellowship hall as an overflow auditorium.

“It’s open to the public. I already know that our church is nowhere big enough to hold this crowd,” said Wilson. The child’s mother previously attended the church, he said.

[...]

Also, Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama said it was establishing a permanent reward fund in the girl’s name to help in future child abductions. The group said it had received more than $35,000 in donations linked to the girl’s disappearance.

[...]

“There is no silver lining in the Cupcake tragedy,” Frank Barefield, chairman of the organization’s board, said in a statement. “However, we are deeply moved by the public’s generosity during the investigation of her kidnapping. We hope the memory of Cupcake is somehow kept alive not only in our community, but also in the generosity of these donors.”

Suspect in Kamille McKinney’s murder lost custody of kids for putting one of them in a washing machine, then demanded them back at gunpoint: Docs
[...]

WBRC obtained court documents showing that Derick Brown, 29, had lost custody of her three children in July 2018 after a relative reported her for putting one of them in a washing machine as punishment. A day after the Department of Human Resources took the children and placed them with a relative, Brown allegedly went to the relative’s home, pointed a gun at them, and took her kids back.

[...]

Though Brown was released from custody shortly after the indictment, her bond was revoked on October 13 when she was identified as a person of interest in the disappearance of Kamille McKinney, 3. Days later, the toddler’s body was found in a dumpster at the Woodside Condominiums in Center Point, where Brown and her boyfriend, Patrick Stallworth, 39, were reportedly staying.

[...]

In December 2010, Birmingham police charged Brown with robbery and fraudulent use of a credit card, both felonies. While awaiting sentencing, Jackson’s probation from the 2009 theft case was revoked, resulting in her spending six months behind bars.

Earlier this year, Brown wrote a letter to the judge presiding over her felony case. In it, she explains that she didn’t want to lose her children and revealed that her own childhood involved sexual abuse, treatment in mental health facilities, and years in the foster care system.

[...]

The kidnapping case is expected to go to trial in November. Meanwhile, Brown and Stallworth—who are charged with capital murder—remain jailed without bond.

Purple and pink flowers and balloons adorned Kamille's tiny casket at the 3-year-old's "homegoing service" at New Beginning Christian Ministry. Colorful cupcakes and an artistic rendering of little Kamille sat alongside the white casket.

The girl's uncle, SL, reminisced about the soft voice she used when she called for "Uncle Steve." Addressing his sister -- Kamille's mother, AT -- and her father, DM, SL said he was only a phone call away if they ever needed to talk.

In his eulogy, Pastor Sylvester L. Wilson said he had struggled to come up with a message to share with the congregation. His own granddaughter had just celebrated her third birthday, Wilson said.

Kamille was, Wilson said, "an angel sent from heaven."

"God came back just to get his angel," SW told the congregation, "because one little baby that lived to be 3 years old could bring this whole city, this whole country, this whole world together."

Social media images for what loved ones opted to call a celebration of life rather than a funeral, showed New Beginning Christian Ministry covered in flowers, including a giant wreath in the shape of the snack she is nicknamed after.

Pastor Sylvester Wilson welcomed everyone to the church’s 700-seat sanctuary, and its fellowship hall, which acted as an overflow auditorium, as Kamille’s picture was splashed above a reading of the Psalm 23 Holy Bible chapter and ‘Rest In Heaven Cupcake’ written across a sash.

[...]

A community member who drove the search for Kamille told church-goers how the girl’s devastated mother messaged him Friday around 2am, unable to sleep as she thought through what she did wrong.

‘When everybody is sleeping at night, it’ll be the hardest part of my day, not holding her and thinking about what I could’ve changed to keep this from happening,’ the speaker said about the exchange.

B’ham barber uses passion for cutting hair to comfort the family of Kamille McKinney

[...]

Lee said he was contacted by Mayor Randall Woodfin’s office to cut the hair of Kamille’s brother.

Lee, a barber and artist of more than 25 years, said he free-handed the design of a cupcake with pink and purple frosting and white angel wings, which he shaved into the back of A's head Friday night just ahead of Kamille’s funeral Sunday.

“He paused and was like, and he said, ‘Oh my gosh, I love it.’ And that put a smile on my face,” said Lee.

[...]

Her family, left to cope with the untimely loss, found ways to ease the pain. Lee also cut a cupcake design into Kamille’s father’s hair.

[...]

Lee, who works at Next Level Barbershop on 3rd Ave N., said others are now calling to request haircuts in Kamille’s honor as well.

He hoped the designs bring some form of comfort.

“I hope it gives him strength, courage and I just want to embrace him and let him know she will always be with him,” said Lee.

‘You can’t have a worse crime than this’: Legally what happens next in Kamille McKinney’s murder case?
[...]

While Carr and his team work to make their case, Stallworth and Brown are being held without bond.

At least one defense attorney thinks it’s possible they are being kept out of the general population. “A three-year-old, you can’t have a worse crime than this,” said Attorney Roger Appell.

[...]

While he’s not directly involved in this case, Appell has handled several other capital murder defenses in the past. He thinks a plea bargain is unlikely.

"This one is going to be very, very difficult to settle because of the high visibility of this. And we’re talking about a three-year-old child. This case absolutely makes no sense,” said Appell.

Public sentiment certainly doesn’t appear to be in favor of a deal. By Monday afternoon, an online petition calling for “no plea deal” and the “maximum punishment,” had already been signed thousands of times.
