CLAYTON, N.C. — The nationwide search for a North Carolina woman accused of murder is now over. 

The City of South Fulton Police Department in Georgia confirmed on Sunday, Oct. 3, that Camille Singleton is in custody. 

Singleton is from Clayton, N.C. 

According to a news release from the department, officers received a call of a suspicious person Sunday morning at a Walmart in South Fulton. Officers were able to make contact with Singleton inside the store and took her into custody without incident. 

Singleton's two-year-old son, who was the subject of a weekend Amber Alert, was also found at the store safe and is being placed with family members. 

The boy's father is currently deployed on a U.S. Navy ship out at sea.

Singleton remains in Fulton County Jail, pending extradition to North Carolina.

She was wanted for the murder of Inita Gaither, according to the Clayton Police Department.

On Thursday, police in Clayton, which is a suburb of Raleigh, North Carolina, found Gaither deceased inside her home. Investigators identified Singleton, who is a relative, as the suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911. The Clayton Police Department can be reached at  (919) 553-0158.

Note: WCNC instituted a new policy in March 2021 regarding the broadcast or posting of mugshots.  

WCNC will only air or post a mugshot if the person has been formally charged with a crime and in a few other cases. The exceptions include: If it appears the person could be a danger to themselves or others or if they are wanted by authorities; to differentiate between people with a common name; if the photos could encourage more victims to come forward. The news-editorial leadership may also decide to use a mugshot based on the severity of the crime(s) committed and/or the level of public interest in the crime and ensuing criminal proceedings.
