   An escapee child murderer serving life for shooting a one-year-old girl dead   
   has been captured after a three-day manhunt.   
      
   Ramone Alston, 30, escaped custody at around 7am on Tuesday after he broke   
   free from leg restraints while being transported to a hospital appointment.   
      
   He fled into the woods with handcuffs on as the transport van arrived at the   
   UNC Gastroenterology hospital in Hillsborough, North Carolina.   
      
   Alston, who has been dubbed the 'Christmas Day killer' was re-captured on   
   Friday at at a hotel in the state, authorities from the North Carolina   
   Department of Adult Correction have said.   
      
   Authorities had issued a $50,000 reward for anyone with information on   
   Alston's whereabouts.   
      
   He was convicted of killing one-year-old Maleah Williams on Christmas Day in   
   2015 in a drive-by shooting.   
      
   She playing outside her family's apartment in Chapel Hill when Alston and his   
   friend, Pierre Je Bron Moore, opened fire. Maleah died three days later.   
      
   Alston had been serving a life sentence at Bertie Correctional Institution in   
   Windsor for his part in the crime. Moore received 28 to 34 years in prison.   
      
   The 30-year-old was last seen fleeing into the woods wearing a gray T-shirt,   
   brown pants and white New Balance tennis shoes, according to authorities.   
      
   An urgent three-day manhunt was launched but Alston was taken back into   
   custody at about 2am this morning at a hotel in Kannapolis, near Charlotte,   
   about 110 miles southwest of Hillsborough.   
      
   The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction (DAC) said in its news   
   release that no one was injured during the arrest.   
      
   Department Secretary Todd Ishee said: 'I am grateful to our DAC staff and   
   thankful for the support and effort from hundreds of local, state and federal   
   public safety officers who helped in the search and investigation that   
   returned Alston safely to    
   custody.   
      
   'This was an incredible collaborative effort.'   
      
   Alston will be charged with felony escape from prison and has been taken to a   
   high security unit in the state prison system.   
      
   A woman described as an acquaintance of Alston's was arrested shortly   
   afterward in Alamance County and charged with felony aiding and abetting a   
   fugitive, the department said.   
      
   Anyone else who helped him also could be charged.
