A man has been charged with murder after a seven-month-old baby died after being shot while sitting in her pushchair in New York.

Amuri Greene, 21, has been charged with three counts of murder and one of attempted murder after police accused him of fatally shooting Kaori Patterson-Moore on 1 April.

Greene appeared in court on Friday where he pleaded not guilty, according to CBS News, the BBC’s US partner. Officers believe the baby was the unintended victim of a gang-related shooting.

Police said a second suspect, Matthew Rodriguez, 18, had been arrested in connection with the shooting in Pennsylvania and charges were pending.
