Police said 7-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore was struck while she was sitting in a stroller near Humboldt and Moore streets in Williamsburg on Wednesday.
Authorities said two suspects on a moped approached the area and one suspect fired a gun, striking Patterson-Moore.
Police said Patterson-Moore died after her father rushed her to a local hospital.
The moped sped off before it crashed and flung both suspects onto the street, according to authorities.
Police said Greene was the passenger on the moped. Authorities believe he was the person who fired the shot that killed Patterson-Moore.
Greene remains hospitalized after suffering injuries when he fell off the scooter, according to authorities. It is unclear when he will be arraigned.
Authorities are still searching for the moped’s driver, who has not been publicly named by police.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the shooting is believed to be gang-related, and that Patterson-Moore wasn’t the intended target.
Attorney information for Greene was not immediately available.
