MARIETTA, GA. – An 18-year-old man was convicted of murder in the shooting of a baby who was riding in a stroller alongside his mom in a town in coastal Georgia despite the defense's attempt to cast guilt upon several others, including the child's parents.
Jurors deliberated about two hours before finding De'Marquise Elkins guilty of 11 counts, including two counts of felony murder and one count of malice murder in the March 21 killing of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago in Brunswick. The man's mother, Karimah Elkins, was on trial alongside him and was found guilty of tampering with evidence but acquitted of lying to police.
De'Marquise Elkins faces life in prison when he is sentenced at a later date. At the time of the shooting he was 17, too young to face the death penalty under Georgia law.

Please put an ounce of lead between his fuzzy, furry eyebrows.
He should be facing the ultimate penalty. Why keep him for 70 years...or more?
Too young to get the death penalty, but not too young to kill the young. Makes a lot of sense.
Looks like babies momma is trash also.
The defense attorney should get an ounce of lead too...the way he went after the mother of the dead baby for God's sake! It was sickening!
i HOPE the inmates get u.
