Brunswick, Georgia (CNN) -- Two teenagers were arrested Friday in the
shooting death of a 13-month-old boy who was in his stroller, according to
police in this coastal city.
The suspects are a 17-year-old boy and a 14-year-old boy, Police Chief Tobe
Green told reporters Friday. He said they are being held on suspicion of
first-degree murder.
Green identified the older suspect as De'Marquis Elkins, saying he will be
treated as an adult in criminal proceedings. The 14-year-old was not
identified because of his age.
"We are turning every stone to get a motive," said Green. A weapon, believed
to be a handgun, has not been found, but police expressed confidence they
would find it.
Police said they acted on a suspect description given by the baby's mother,
Sherry West, who said she was with her son when the incident occurred.
Officers checked school attendance records to determine who was not in
classes Thursday, police spokesman Todd Rhodes said. No other suspects are
being sought, he said.
Mom: My son was 'innocent and helpless'
Police offered a $10,000 reward for information and have received more than
30 leads. They were still following them Friday afternoon.
West earlier told reporters that the incident occurred at 9 a.m. Thursday as
she was walking home from the post office, pushing her son Antonio in a
stroller.
"A boy approached me and told me he wanted my money, and I told him I didn't
have any money. And he said, 'Give me your money or I'm going to kill you
and I'm going to shoot your baby and kill your baby,' and I said, "I don't
have any money and don't kill my baby."
The boy tried to grab her purse and opened fire when she said tried to tell
him she had no money, West said, grazing her head. She said the boy then
shot her in the leg.
West continued, "And then, all of a sudden, he walked over and he shot my
baby in the face."
West said she tried to perform CPR on her son and that the police took over
when they arrived, but to no avail. "We lost him," she said.
During the incident, the smaller of the two boys was hiding behind the
larger one, she said. "I don't know whether it was his brother or a friend."
West had said she hopes the boys will receive the maximum sentence possible.
"If they can use a gun like an adult, then they can be charged like an
adult," she said. "I want to see lethal injection or at least life in prison
. This child did nothing to him. He was innocent and helpless."
Though no one has reported seeing the shooting, several people called 911
after hearing it, Rhodes said.
The city's website describes Brunswick, with a population of about 15,000,
as "one of the most unique, historic and visually stunning places in the
world." It boasts 19th century Victorian-style homes, century-old oaks and
magnolia tree-lined streets. | b********s
