[QUOTE="Justinian, post: 67001, member: 923"] I'm surprised nobody has posted this yet.. [url="http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/22/us/georgia-baby-killed/index.html?hpt=hp_bn1"]Baby shot dead in stroller; 2 Georgia teens charged - CNN.com[/url] [B]Brunswick, Georgia (CNN)[/B] -- Two teen boys in this coastal city[B] [/B]were charged with murder Friday, accused in the fatal shooting of a 13-month-old boy who was in a stroller being pushed by his mother. Aided by a description and a check of school attendance records to determine who was not in classes Thursday, officers searched for the young suspects and took them into custody, police said. The mother told reporters the shooting occurred when one youth demanded money. Police expressed confidence they would find the weapon, believed to be a handgun. Spokesman Todd Rhodes, who described the shooting as "horrific," told CNN's "The Situation Room" on Friday evening that search warrants were being executed in three locations. Chief Tobe Green identified the older suspect as De'Marquise Elkins, 17, and said he will be treated as an adult in criminal proceedings. The 14-year-old was not identified because of his age. Both have been charged with first-degree murder, police said. "We are turning every stone to get a motive," said Green. Police said they received a suspect description from Sherry West, the baby's mother. No other suspects are being sought, according to Rhodes. Authorities were tight-lipped about the investigation, which was aided by helicopters and police dogs. 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. She said she saw two boys. "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, with the shot 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."
