Prayer vigil to be held in Macon for slain Alabama toddler

Police believe they've found the body of 3-year-old Kamille 'Cupcake' McKinney in a dumpster

MACON, Ga. — A prayer vigil will be held in Macon Friday to celebrate the life of Alabama 3-year-old Kamille McKinney.

According to a flyer sent to the WMAZ newsroom, it will take place at 6 p.m. at Smith Park Hill – near the intersection of Richard Pennimen Boulevard and Telfair Street by the Tindall Heights neighborhood.

Attendees are asked to bring a candle, poster and prayer for the family of McKinney and all other missing girls around the world.

The announcement of a prayer vigil comes after a press conference Tuesday afternoon where Birmingham's Police Chief Patrick Smith said they believe they found the remains of the missing toddler inside of a dumpster.

At the same press conference, Smith confirmed warrants had been issued for two suspects, who are both currently in custody.
