   HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. -- Convicted murderer Ramone Alston has finally been   
   captured after a three-day manhunt. According to the North Carolina Department   
   of Adult Correction, Alston was captured shortly before 2 a.m. Friday at a   
   hotel near Charlotte.   
      
   Keith Acree with the NCDOAC said Alston was taken into custody with the help   
   of agents with the FBI Charlotte SWAT team, Kannapolis, North Carolina police   
   and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers. No one was injured.   
      
   A woman identified as Jacobia Crisp was also arrested in Alamance County,   
   North Carolina and charged with felony aiding and abetting a fugitive.   
      
   Alston escaped from correctional officers Tuesday morning, as he was arriving   
   for an appointment at a Hillsborough, North Carolina hospital. Since then,   
   hundreds of law enforcement and public safety officials were involved in the   
   search for him.   
      
   Alston will be charged with felony escape from prison, and is being taken to a   
   high-security unit in the state prison system to continue serving his life   
   sentence for first-degree murder in the 2015 death of 1-year-old Maleah   
   Williams in Chapel Hill,    
   North Carolina.   
      
   Who is Ramone Alston?   
   Alston was convicted of shooting and killing 1-year-old Maleah Williams on   
   Christmas Day in 2015. Williams' mother told ABC Raleigh-Durham affiliate WTVD   
   then that the children were outside playing with their Christmas toys, and she   
   was holding her    
   daughter when someone started firing shots in the area. She was running from   
   the area when she realized a bullet had struck Williams.   
      
   WTVD uncovered that Alston recently tried to get his sentence lightened.   
   Records show Alston filed a motion for appropriate relief in October 2023.   
      
   The 20-page document goes through the evidence and facts of his case. In the   
   document, Alston claims the state used misleading evidence in its case. The   
   motion was denied in May, with a judge saying Alston had a fair, full hearing   
   and the claims in the    
   motion for appropriate relief lacked merit.
