Infant shot dead in robbery

Police yesterday arrested two teenagers who are suspected of shooting to death a 13-month-old baby in the US state of Georgia, and wounding the baby’s mother in an attempted robbery.

De’Marquis Elkins, 17, 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.

Sherry West wept as she said a teenager trying to rob her at gunpoint asked: “Do you want me to kill your baby?” before he fatally shot her son in the head on Thursday morning while she walked near their home in coastal Brunswick.
