Ga. teen pleads not guilty in fatal shooting of baby last month
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A coastal Georgia teenager has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the slaying of a baby that authorities say was shot in the face during an attempted robbery on a street.
Court records show 15-year-old Dominique Lang waived arraignment before a judge Thursday in Brunswick and entered his plea in writing. Attorneys told the judge a second suspect, 17-year-old De'Marquise (day-mahr-KEESE) Elkins, had also waived arraignment but there was no record of his written plea in the court file.
Elkins' attorney, Kevin Gough, declined to comment.

Both teenagers have been charged as adults.
