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 Brunswick, Georgia.

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 Demarquis 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 has not been found.

Police offered a $10,000 reward for information and have received more than 30 leads.

Sherry 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," she said. "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.

She continued, "And then, all of a sudden, he walked over and he shot my baby in the face."

Here’s a tidbit from the little darlin’s FB page, “Hoes don’t excite me money do.” Keep it classy baby-killing POS. If GA doesn’t have the b*lls to execute, may he spend the rest of his miserable life in a, ahem “correctional facility” (cough cough, choke!) as some thugs’ “plaything”.

Figured there was a MLK Blvd there somewhere but never had the chance to visit
And it's a damn shame that one of Dr. King's legacies is to have streets named in his honor that run through, shall we say, less than "desirable" neighborhoods.

Consider the use of the tern “youth” fortunate.

The mayor began by referring to these killers as “children”.

I live close to Brunswick. Its a small town of about 15,000.

Only a very low IQ perp would think that they could get away with this is such a small town.

I will be honest, that I have been withholding judgment on this, because it seems so odd. But more details are making it a bit more believable, though still odd.

The woman did no shoot herself (shot in leg) and the child, because it would be too evident to the police.

She has positively ID’d the perps, which is also odd for a cover story. Most such people want a way out, but have too much to worry about with making a positive ID claim. If an alibi is provided, it throws the suspicion back on them.

If this is legit, it is a black on white crime that is 100 times worse than little Trayvon Martin's best-case (for prosecution) scenario. Think we'll get a comment from the Bamster given the family resemblance of the perps?

One of Saddam Hussein’s plastic shredders would be more appropriate.


Don’t give Homeland inSecurity any ideas. They will be shredding Vets before you know it.

He’s also a member of the Bloods gang with a pic of him. Many pics in fact. Reminds me of Tryvon.

...so it isn't a racial thing. It's a cultural thing...

Blacks are the most murderous group in the US. To say it's cultural rather than racial is a distinction without a difference.

I was gonna say that this sounds like a gang initiation, but then I thought that even the Crips or Bloods probably aren’t cold-blooded enough to do this. This is truly demonic.

RIP, little innocent boy.

CNN article already has over 6000 comment

Half of those comments are accusing the mother of shooting her kid and blaming it on blacks.
