- One-year-old Antonio Santiago was murdered on March 21, 2013, during an attempted robbery in Brunswick, Georgia, United States. As Santiago and his mother, Sherry West, were returning home from the post office, they were confronted by two youths, 15-year-old Dominique Lang and 17-year-old De'Marquise Elkins. Elkins, who had previously shot another victim he tried to rob, pointed a gun at West and demanded money. When she did not comply he fired two .22-caliber bullets, one of which grazed her head, and the other of which went through her leg. He then shot Santiago in the face, killing him. The murder received national as well as international attention due to the victim's young age. Lang pleaded guilty to attempted armed robbery, and was sentenced to eight years of probation. Elkins was tried and convicted in August 2013 and sentenced to life in prison without parole. He did not receive the death penalty because he was under 18 at the time of the crime. Several of Elkins's relatives were also convicted of, and pleaded guilty to, charges related to covering up the crime. In 2019, the Georgia Supreme Court ordered the trial court to review whether Elkins had been properly sentenced. (en)
