The mother and aunt of accused child killer DeMarquise Kareem Elkins, 17, were arrested Tuesday morning on felony charges of making false statements to police, Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering said.
Doering said they were arrested about 5 a.m.
DeMarquise Elkins and 14-year-old Dominique Lang are both charged with murder in the shooting death Thursday of 13-month-old Antonio Angel Santiago. Antonio was shot to death in a stroller that his mother Shelly West was pushing on a side street from their apartment facing Union Street in Brunswicks south end. West said the older of her assailants demanded money before shooting her in the thigh and then her child in the head.
The mother, Karimah Aisha Elkins, 36, and aunt, Katrina Latrelle Elkins, 33, were booked into the Glynn County jail before 9 a.m., said Ron Corbett, undersheriff of the Glynn County Sheriffs Office.

Prison crowding is why she isn’t locked up.
We closed all “insane asylums” and let them on the street. They are the ones incarcerated in prisons, all the criminals are out on the streets due to prison crowding.
One of these days the press might pick up on this. It is very obvious here in LA that crazy/criminal populations are a problem.
Sure thing, Mum — because your investigational instincts have been so right on here from the start.
If the police had let you run the investigation the two feral thugs would be out knocking off more baby strollers while their aunts cook them alibi breakfasts and their victims languish behind bars.
I didn't think of that, but it is certainly in the realm of possibilities.
I've heard her interviews (and that of the lives-across-the-street babydaddy of hers) and she seems as low rent as her alleged attackers.
If she's involved, I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

This is the reason we couldn't find the article posted yet..but to me that is fine we need to keep this going so everyone won't forget what these savages did..He just got caught on this one I wonder how many others have killed whites from that family.
Please quote where I said the boys weren’t involved and i was sure of that.
Also please quote where I said the aunt was telling the truth.
And we’ll see about those instincts. I don’t even know the woman and I my instincts about her immediately after it happened were the same exact as her baby daddy and her daughter, who DO know her, 4 days later.
And you still think she’s Mrs. Cleaver.
We’ll see. :o)
If DeMarquise had a father, he’d look like Ubama.
This part of the story doesn’t appear to be getting much press:
Debra Obley says she never imagined she’d have two ties to the investigation into the murder of the toddler.
“I feel sad I’m being threatened, yeah I’m being threatened by people saying they are going to kill me or have people to kill me, because I’m a snitch,” said Obley.
Obley’s nephew is the 14-year-old accused of being an accomplice to the murder.
She tells Channel 4 that she gave Elkins a ride from her mother’s house, not knowing who he was.
“When he got in the car, he laid down in the backseat,” said Obley. “He kept looking around, peeping up and I said, ‘Boy, what you doing? You skipping school?’ You know, he said ‘No ma’am.’”
When she started asking for more questions, Obley said Elkins cut the ride short.
“When he got out of the car, he had something hid up in his pants. It was a gun,” said Obley.
Obley says she felt something wasn’t right, so she asked her nephew about it.
“I said...if you’ve got something to do with this little baby, you can’t talk to me. I’m your auntie,” said Obley. “He said ‘Auntie, I don’t even know the boy. I don’t have anything to do with that.’”
Even though he wouldn’t talk to her, Obley decided to talk to police. While it’s hard to see her nephew behind bars, Obley said she feels she did the right thing.
“It’s wrong. That was a baby. That baby can’t come back,” said Obley. “That mama will never get that baby back. Whoever did it deserves to be behind bars.”
Obley said she doesn’t believe her nephew would have fired at anyone. She hasn’t talked with him since.
Debra Obley is the aunt of the thuglet and the threats that she was getting probably were/are coming from the aunt and mother of thug Elkins.
I will say this much...I finally got to see the video of her statement... I didn’t see any obvious deceitful body language.
And that lends to the reason I am so befuzzled by this whole thing.
Glynn County police found a handgun in the pond east of U.S. 17 just north of its intersection with Spur 25.
County Police Chief Matt Doering said West was never a suspect in her childs slaying nor was the boys father, Louis Santiago, who lives across Union Street from West.
We believe the location and the victim were both random, Doering said.
