This is an awful story (teenager shoots baby when mom refuses to hand over purse) and I'm wondering if anybody else is following it.
It just doesn't add up to me. I'm trying to keep track of it to find out if any actual evidence is revealed regarding the named suspect. He has an alibi. As far as I can tell from the news stories, the only thing they have is the eye-witness ID from the mom. Something just feels off about it.

So, the named suspect's mom and aunt were arrested
"The pair is facing felony charges for allegedly providing false statements or writings; concealing facts or fraudulent documents in matters of government."
But, the daughter of the woman whose baby was shot is questioning her story
The daughter of Sherry West, Ashley Glassey, said she does not want to falsely accuse anyone but she wants the truth.
Glassey, 21, lives in New Jersey and said her mother lost custody of her when she was 8. She said she has forgiven her mom and has spoken to her every day since Thursday's shooting but said some of her mother's responses have her concerned.
Glassey said she started to have her doubts after receiving a phone call from her mother telling her that her brother, Antonio Santiago, had been killed. She claims the night of the shooting her mother asked, "How soon do you think life insurance policy will send me a check?"
Glassey tells First Coast News she hopes her suspicions are wrong but based on conversations with her mother she's not sure. Glassey described their discussions by saying her mother is crying one minute and then sounds fine the next.
"I spoke with the detectives and investigators and the evidence leads to many witnesses, not just me," said Sherry West, mother of the 13-month-old that was killed last Thursday morning.
Glassey says her mother is bipolar and has schizophrenic tendencies. She believes her mother is on medication but could not tell me any prescriptions specifically.
"She changed her story she told me the baby was shot first and then she told me she was shot first," said Glassey.
Sherry West maintains her story.
"They shot my baby in the head and I had to watch him die and I want that boy to die."
Glassey said she has contacted the Brunswick Police Department and no one has called her back. First Coast News contacted police to ask why, buy have yet to receive a response.
Police have not suggested that Sherry West is a suspect in this case.
Two teens are currently facing the murder charges
