The teen accused of shooting a toddler between the eyes during a robbery attempt counted down from five before firing, his alleged accomplice testified today after pointing him out as the shooter.
Dominique Lang testified that he ran into De'Marquise Elkins on the morning of the March 21 slaying. A short while later as the two walked together, they saw Sherry West with a stroller.
Lang says Elkins walked to West and demanded her purse before pulling out a gun. When West refused to hand the purse over, he hit her in the face with it and threatened her baby.
'The baby was in the stroller screaming,' Lang said.
Elkins shot Sherry West in the leg with his .22 caliber handgun, he testified, and then shot the 13-month-old baby Antonio Santiago.
De'Marquise Elkins is charged with murder, child cruelty, attempted armed robbery and multiple counts of aggravated assault in connection to the March 21 shooting.
If convicted, Elkins will not face the death penalty because he was 17 at the time of the killing, too young under Georgia law to be executed.
Prosecutors have also accused Elkins of shooting Wilfredo Calix Flores outside a local church ten days before the child was killed.

Jump the punk. Most of them are cowards that run at the first sign that their target will fight back (been there before). Might I get shot? Sure, that's always a risk. Just don't let the gutterscum get away undamaged. That just gives them incentive to do it all over again.
“Personally, present two to center-of-mass and one to the head.”
Me too. If I’m alone. Might even let the dog chew on him awhile. But remember in the scenario you aren’t armed.
Google Colin Flaherty. He is perhaps the only reporter I have seen who consistently reports black-on-white crime, and has a running compilation which he updates on his website and has a book titled ‘White Girl Bleed a Lot’.
Because the perp's political affiliation has nothing to do with it. Many of my neighbors are liberal democrats, but while I despise their politics, I'm confident that none of them would commit armed robberies or shoot babies in the face. If I lived among hoods in the inner city, it would be standard operating procedure.
Thats all BA is....full of it...and God forbid you have the terrible duty to protect yourself with a firearm...calls you "rambo". LOL.....I want to see how many bronze stars he has vs. me. One of mine have a V device and you don't get that by showing up.
“Imagine how she must feel now knowing that her son would almost certainly be alive if she just gave up her purse.”
Blaming the victim? Get lost, you piece of filth.
I’m in favor of public hanging. Once caught/stopped.... just take them outside and let the helicopters circling film them kicking at the end of a rope. I don’t care if they’re crazy. I don’t care if their mom was mean to them. I don’t care what their home life was like growing up. I don’t care if they have a low IQ. I don’t care if it was peer pressure. I don’t care if it was because of violent video games. Just hang them in public.... quickly .... and be done with it.
I don’t know if the kid would be alive or not... but no doubt... the lady has an unhealthy love of money. Seriously.
So if she didn’t really believe the guy wasn’t going to shoot. Then she should have done something somewhere between 5 and 1. Something... ANYTHING besides stand there and cry.
I wouldn't put young children at risk but otherwise, I'm going to fight back.
you don’t know she’d be alive....these people are animals.....they would have shot her and killed her anyway, purse or no purse....
While he was counting. I saw the interview of her.
“He was like, ‘Five, four, three,’ and then she stopped him,” Lang said.
Did they catch the dirtbag ?
“Thats all BA is....full of it...and God forbid you have the terrible duty to protect yourself with a firearm...calls you “rambo”.”
No I called you rambo because you advocate drawing on gun pointed at you and recommend that women with babies in strollers do the same thing. Since you pretend to have so much training and “warrior ethos” can you tell me of 1 firearm training expert that recommends that?
“I wouldn’t put young children at risk but otherwise, I’m going to fight back.”
