Police arrested two Georgia teens on Friday and charged them with the murder of a 13-month-old boy shot dead in his stroller. Seventeen-year-old De'Marquis Elkins and a 14-year-old companion (whose name was not released because he is a juvenile) allegedly approached the boy, Antonio Santiago, and his mother, Sherry West, while the two were on a morning walk on Thursday. West told the AP that the boys demanded money from her; when she said she had none, Elkins allegedly fired a shot at the ground, then two more at West's ear and leg. Then, West says, Elkins walked around the stroller and shot her child in the face. The older boy is being charged as an adult with first-degree murder.
