Add another twist to the murder of Antonio Santiago.
The shooting death of the 13-month-old has presented some interesting and conflicting stories (including one about his own mother killing him for financial gain), but in court on Thursday, the co-defendant of the teen accused of firing the fatal shot says he heard the gunshot that killed the infant.
According to the Associated Press:
The 15-year-old co-defendant of a man accused of fatally shooting a baby in a stroller during a robbery attempt in coastal Georgia said the 18-year-old counted down twice before firing the shot that killed the baby.
Dominique Lang testified Thursday he was walking with Elkins March 21 when they saw Sherry West with a stroller.
Lang says Elkins demanded West’s purse. Lang says Elkins pulled out a gun when West refused, hit her in the face with it and threatened her baby.
Lang says Elkins fired at the ground and then shot West in the leg. Lang said he saw Elkins point the gun at the baby and heard a third shot.
