West said detectives showed her photographs 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.”
Sabrina Elkins, the sister of the older suspect in the baby’s slaying, said Friday evening that she believed her brother was innocent of the charges. She didn’t know whether he had a lawyer.
“He couldn’t have done that to a little baby,” she told AP. “My brother has a good heart.”
She said that her brother had been living in Atlanta, and only returned to Brunswick a few months ago. Typically, he would come by her house in the morning and they’d go to breakfast.
But yesterday morning, police came to her door. Her brother was walking down the sidewalk and saw the officers at her door but came over anyway, Sabrina Elkins said.
“The police came pointing a Taser at him, telling him to get on the ground,” she recalled by phone. “He said, ‘What are you getting me for? Can you tell me what I did?’”
It’s also important to note that it is more difficult for people of one race to accurately tell the difference between 2 people of another race.
Not saying that is the case here, just important to remember.
If she identified a suspect, then that lowers the chances she paid someone to do it.
I’m just speculating out loud here....
