Two teenagers were arrested Friday in the shooting death of a 13-month-old boy who was in his stroller, according to police in this coastal city.

The suspects are a 17-year-old boy and a 14-year-old boy, Police Chief Tobe Green told reporters Friday. Both have been charged with first-degree murder, police said.

Green identified the older suspect as De'Marquis Elkins, saying he will be treated as an adult in criminal proceedings. The 14-year-old was not identified because of his age.

"We are turning every stone to get a motive," said Green. A weapon, believed to be a handgun, has not been found, but police expressed confidence they would find it.

1. I don't suppose it's possible that the motive was correctly stated in the first reports, i.e....

...robbery.

I'll bet they have three shifts of detectives working around the clock to figure this one out.

2. Wow, so many original comments on the story disbelieved the Mom, compared her to Susan Smith...

I guess because it's such a weird story, no one wants to believe kids could do this.
