Antonio Santiago Shooting: Anonymous tip led to arrests in Georgia baby's murder, police say

(CBS/AP) BRUNSWICK, Ga. - An anonymous tip helped authorities make arrests in the shooting death of a Georgia baby who was killed in a stroller, police said Sunday.

The Brunswick Police Department said they received a tip that someone was crouched in the back seat of a vehicle as it drove away from the shooting on Thursday.

The Glynn County detective's division spent hours following up on the tip and eventually arrested a 14-year-old suspect. The boy's statements led them to take 17-year-old De'Marquise Elkins into custody.

Elkins is charged with murder in the death of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago. The baby's mother, Sherry West, said she was walking home when Elkins and a younger boy approached and asked her for money.

Elkins' family said he did not shoot the baby.
