MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) A man accused of fatally shooting a baby in coastal Georgia hid a gun at a relative's apartment the day after the slaying, and his mother and sister came to get it, a woman who lives in the home said Monday.
Danielle Williams testified that De'Marquise Elkins came to her home March 22, the day after 13-month-old Antonio Santiago was shot to death in his stroller, and asked if he could hide a gun under a loveseat. Later that day, Elkins' mother and sister came by the apartment and left with the gun, Williams said.
Williams' father-in-law, Ronald Elkins, who said he's a third cousin of De'Marquise Elkins, testified he was sleeping that morning and was awakened by noise. He went downstairs and found Karimah and Sabrina Elkins De'Marquise Elkins' mother and sister, respectively lifting the loveseat and pulling out a gun.
Concerned for his young grandchild in the home, Ronald Elkins took the revolver, emptied the bullets and returned the gun and bullets to Karimah Elkins, he said....
Prosecutors have said information from Elkins' mother and sister led investigators to a pond where they found the revolver. Karimah Elkins is on trial alongside her son on charges of evidence tampering and lying to police.
Elkins' sister also was charged with evidence tampering. Willie Merrell, who described himself as a good friend of Karimah Elkins, testified that he picked up Karimah and Sabrina Elkins the day after the shooting and took them to a fishing pond where he catches bass. At one point, Merrell heard a splash but didn't see anything, he testified.
A diver with the Emergency Management Agency ... testified that a small .22-caliber revolver with an empty chamber was pulled from that same fishing pond a few days later.

Is there now a reduced .22 cartridge available now?
Why diem,t they just give the gun to Holder?
Actually, it was not the man that hid the gun, but his family. Amazing!
Aguila makes a 60 grain subsonic. Great impact close in with less report. Nice in .22 derringers, but you can shoot it through things like the 1022 and .22lr conversions for Ars. Not cheap but nice stuff for close in social work and practice inside twenty-five yards.
22LR has nearly as much ammo variety as 12ga.
The family that slays together stays together.
Indeed.
IINM the cousin Ronald Elkins got a reward for turning the perp in — and it turns out that there was another reason that he did so — his fingerprints would have been on the gun when he removed the bullets.
I say give the guy some credit for his testimony, even though the entire family is lower than a snake's belly in a wagon rut.
I want him dead. Period.
Just Damn.
OTOH, the feral Negroes very much in evidence on Brunswick, GA's streets favor drooping, unbelted oversize shorts, exposing their boxer-covered rumps, basketball shirts, unlaced black sneakers/no sox, and wear their hair in dreadlocks. Tattoos, too.
*In the unlikely event that an all-black jury, judge, and prosecution team bring in a guilty verdict, perhaps they could use the tie to hang the SOB.

He was in a board meeting at Interminable Racial Grievances, Inc.
All as ugly as sin on Sunday, as cowflop on a freshly painted barn door.
They might have used Aguilar Colibri: primer only, no gunpowder, about 300 fps, if a revolver was found. That round won’t cycle a semi-auto.
Those peeps need. To take an IQ test. Just for fun.

No way. IQ tests don’t measure in negative numbers.
The murderer was 17 when he murdered the baby and not eligible for the death penalty.
Not too much chance that he'll be killed in prison either, people who commit crimes against children are usually segregated.
Chances are that he'll spend the rest of his days being coddled by the prison system - unless of course obama pardons him during his last day in office - ala slick willie clinton.
