De'Marquise Elkins taunted police over lack of evidence in toddler's death, investigators say

Source: Florida Times Union

MARIETTA, GA. | A Brunswick teen accused of shooting a toddler to death on a city street taunted police over their lack of evidence, but his demeanor changed when he perceived they had located a gun, a Glynn County investigator testified Friday in his trial.

...

“He said, as he was walking out, ‘Y’all ain’t got — — on me. Y’all ain’t got no gun. Y’all ain’t got no fingerprints. All y’all got is a — — acquittal,’ ’’ Nohilly testified. When Elkins saw another detective smile he said, “Oh, got the gun?”

...

Ironically, Gough laid out the theory of West’s residue rubbing off on Santiago when he had Peppers read a GBI memo about it.

Peppers testified her analysis could not determine concretely whether the residue on the swabs was from their having fired a gun or having rubbed against something. She did say the appearance of few particles on Santiago suggests that he had not shot a gun recently.

Other than the sound and fury about his prospects for an acquittal, what positive contributions to society can we expect from De'Marq...

Dunno, maybe as a contributor to the War on the Horizon website?

versus the evidence, including the gun, fingerprints on the gun, testimony of the younger teen who was with Elgin, etc.

With a couple particles on one person and 1 particle on the other, they couldn't 100% rule them out. The evidence against Elgin was more than a couple particles of residue.

Yes they have the right person.

Before the masses determine this kid should spend his life in prison? Whatever happened to due process? The police were under huge pressure to make an arrest in this case. And I think there's a good chance that the first black kid to come along immediately because the prime suspect. I don't trust the police in this case as far as I can throw them.

I hope he ends up in general population, where it will become clear to him that tough guy acts don't go over well for people who shoot babies.

Pastor: Man accused of killing baby in Ga. shot me 10 days before the child's deathPublished August 27, 2013
Associated Press

MARIETTA, Ga. – A pastor testified Tuesday that a man accused of fatally shooting a baby in coastal Georgia shot him in the arm 10 days before the child's death.

Wilfredo Calix Flores, pastor of a Hispanic church in Brunswick, said De'Marquise (deh-mahr-KEES') Elkins demanded money from him on March 11 and shot him when he said he didn't have any.

Elkins also is charged with murder in the March 21 killing of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago in Brunswick. That charge has been the main focus of the hearing.

Prosecutors showed Flores a picture of the gun they say was used to shoot the baby. He said it was the same gun that was used to shoot him.
