Georgia police Friday charged two teens with murder a day after a 13-month-old boy was shot dead in his stroller and his mother was wounded during a holdup.

Seventeen-year-old De'Marquis Elkins was charged as an adult with first-degree murder, along with a 14-year-old who was not identified because he is a juvenile, said Brunswick Police Chief Tobe Green. They were arrested early Friday.

WTLV reports the mother, Sherry West, and her 13-month-old son, Antonio Santiago, were on a morning walk Thursday when they were approached by two suspects and shot after demanding money.
