BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — A pair of teenagers was arrested
Friday and accused of fatally shooting a 13-month-old baby in the face
and wounding his mother during their morning stroll through a leafy,
historic neighborhood.
Sherry West
had just been to the post office a few blocks from her apartment
Thursday morning and was pushing her son, Antonio, in his stroller while
they walked past gnarled oak trees and blooming azaleas in the coastal
city of Brunswick.
West said a tall, skinny teenager, accompanied by a smaller boy, asked her for money.
"He asked me for money and I said I didn't have it," she told The
Associated Press Friday from her apartment, which was scattered with her
son's toys and movies.
"When you have a baby, you spend all your money on babies. They're
expensive. And he kept asking and I just said 'I don't have it.' And he
said, 'Do you want me to kill your baby?' And I said, 'No, don't kill my
baby!'"
One of the teens fired four shots, grazing West's ear and striking
her in the leg, before he walked around to the stroller and shot the
baby in the face.

Seventeen-year-old De'Marquis Elkins is charged as an adult with
first-degree murder, along with a 14-year-old who was not identified
because he is a juvenile, Police Chief Tobe Green said. It wasn't
immediately clear whether the boys had attorneys.
Police announced the arrest Friday afternoon after combing school
records and canvassing neighborhoods searching for the pair. The chief
said the motive of the "horrendous act" was still under investigation
and the weapon had not been found.
"I feel glad that justice will be served," West said. "It's not
something I'm going to live with very well. I'm just glad they caught
him."
West said detectives showed her mugshots of about 24 young men. She pointed to one, saying he looked like the gunman.
"After I picked him, they said they had him in custody," West said. "It looked just like him. So I think we got our man."
West said she thought the other suspect looked much younger: "That little boy did not look 14."
The slaying happened around the
corner from West's apartment in the city's Old Town historic district.
It's a street lined with grand Victorian homes from the late 1800s. Most
have been neatly restored by their owners. Others, with faded and
flaking paint, have been divided into rental units like the apartment
West shared with her son. The slain boy's father, Luis Santiago, lives in a house across the street.
A neighbor dropped off a fruit basket and then a hot pot of coffee
Friday as a friend from the post office dropped by to comfort West.
Santiago came and went. At one point he scooped up an armload of his
son's stuffed animals, saying he wanted to take them home with him. He
talked about Antonio's first birthday on Feb. 5 and how they had tried
different party hats on the boy.
"He's all right," Santiago told the boy's mother, trying to smile. "He's potty training upstairs in heaven."
West said her son was walking well on his own and eight of his teeth
had come in. But she also mourned the milestones that will never come,
like Antonio's first day at school.
"I'm always going to wonder what his first word would be," West said.
Beverly Anderson, whose husband owns the property where West has
lived for several years, said she was stunned by the violence in what's
generally known as a safe neighborhood where children walk to school and
families are frequently outdoors.
Jonathan Mayes and his wife were out walking their dogs Friday, right
past the crime scene, and said they've never felt nervous about being
out after dark.
"What is so mind-numbing about this is we don't have this kind of
stuff happen here," Mayes said. "You expect that kind of crap in
Atlanta."
It's not the mother's first loss of a child to violence. West said her 18-year-old son, Shaun Glassey, was killed in New Jersey in 2008. She still has a newspaper clipping from the time.
Glassey was killed with a steak knife in March 2008 during an attack
involving several other teens on a dark street corner in Gloucester
County, N.J., according to news reports from the time.
"He and some other boys were going to ambush a kid," Bernie
Weisenfeld, a spokesman for the Gloucester County prosecutor's office,
told the AP Friday.
Glassey was armed with a knife, but the 17-year-old target of the
attack was able to get the knife away from him "and Glassey ended up on
the wrong end of the knife," Weisenfeld recalled.

Prosecutors decided the 17-year-old would not be charged because they determined that he acted in self-defense.
