A white supremacist who allegedly shot dead his gay boss at a North Carolina community college after he was fired has been found sleeping on a Florida beach. Kenneth Morgan Stancil III, 20, was arrested around 1.30 a.m. on Tuesday when he was seen sleeping in Daytona Beach, Florida, Goldsboro police Captain Dwayne Dean said. Stancil, who had a knife with him, was arrested without incident when Volusia County beach patrol officers found the suspect sleeping on the beach, which is a violation of a local ordinance. The arrest came nearly 24 hours after he allegedly walked into Wayne County Community College in Goldsboro, where he had previously studied, and shot dead the print shop director, Ron Lane. Arrested:  Kenneth Morgan Stancil III, 20, left, was arrested sleeping on a Florida beach early on Tuesday, nearly 24 hours after shooting dead his former work-study supervisor Ron Lane, right . Lane, who had worked at the college for 18 years, had supervised Stancil under a work-study program but is believed to have recently fired him. Stancil's mother, Debbie,confirmed to WNCN that Lane had fired her son without notice and claimed that Lane had 'made inappropriate sexual advances toward' him. According to Lane's Facebook page, he had been in a relationship with a man named Chuck Tobin. Tobin, 28, vanished after leaving home last July and his remains were found in November. Police said on Tuesday that they are investigating the fatal shooting  as a possible hate crime, although they refused to say what hate crime was being investigated. Goldsboro police and the Wayne County district attorney's office said they will work to have Stancil extradited to North Carolina to face an open count of murder. Daytona Beach is about 540 miles south of Goldsboro and it is not yet clear how Stancil traveled the there. Authorities had previously said they believed he was still in North Carolina. Goldsboro city spokeswoman Kim Best said Stancil, a third-year student, had recently left the school but did not say when. Take over: A military style SWAT vehicle from the Johnston County Sheriff's Office arrived at the college after the 8am shooting on Monday. It is believed that Stancil targeted Lane before fleeing the building . Swoop: Authorities enter the home Stancil shares with his mother and two younger brothers on Monday . Search: They look through a vehicle outside the home on Monday as a massive manhunt was launched . According to police, Stancil walked into the building at 8am carrying a long-barreled gun, went up to the third floor - perhaps using a back staircase - and fired one shot, which killed Lane. First-year student Jovaun Williams, 24, told The Associated Press that he was heading up a staircase inside the building when he heard a single muffled pop, which he knew was a gunshot. By the time he reached the ground floor again, he saw police officers running into the building, which houses the cafeteria and library, with their guns drawn. SWAT teams raced to Wayne Community College, the entire campus was evacuated, and the school was placed on lockdown, although it was lifted a few hours later. Authorities at one point thought they had cornered Stancil in a restroom and fired tear gas in a bid to get him out, but found it was not the shooter inside.

Nearby, the private Wayne County Day School - with about 300 students in prekindergarten through 12th grade - was also put on lockdown. Sheriff's deputies also swarmed the home Stancil shared with his mother and two younger brothers. A next-door neighbor, Barbara Williams, said Stancil's grandparents lived on the other side of the mobile home, where they operated an assisted living home. Williams said Stancil once helped her late husband when he fell out of his bed. 'He came over here and picked him right up and put him back on the bed,' Williams said. 'I've never had no problems with those kids. ... It just surprises me.' On Facebook, he describes his interests as 'white pride' and calls himself the 'White Knight'. Evacuated: Students were seen congregating in the college parking lot on Monday morning . Clearing buildings: A line of about 20 to 30 students were escorted out of the campus with their hands up .

After Stancil fled, authorities urged the public not to approach him, calling him extremely dangerous. At a press conference late on Monday morning, WCC president Kay Albertson said: 'Our hearts are heavy, but it could have been a lot worse.' Students at the community college planned to return to class on Tuesday. The college is one hour away from Raleigh and has 3,900 students currently enrolled.
