EAST WILLIAMSBURG, Brooklyn (WABC) — The two suspects arrested in last week’s deadly shooting of a 7-month-old baby girl in Brooklyn have been indicted on second-degree murder and other charges.
The Brooklyn district attorney announced the indictment against Amuri Greene and Matthew Rodriguez on Tuesday.
“The theory is acting in concert for the driver, so he would be held as accountable as the shooter,” said Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.
The suspects are also charged in the shooting of the victim’s 2-year-old brother who was grazed by a bullet.
Greene, the suspected gunman, waived his right to attend his first court appearance.
Rodriguez, the suspected scooter driver, is still in Pennsylvania. He has waived extradition and should be back in Brooklyn by the end of the week.
Both men should be arraigned on their indictment at that time.
They are facing charges in connection to the death of Kaori Patterson-Moore last Wednesday in East Williamsburg.
Patterson-Moore was being pushed in a stroller by her mother when shots rang out in the middle of the day.
As people ran for cover, the baby’s mother, father and 2-year-old brother fled to a nearby bodega where they realized the baby had been shot.
The child’s father ran to the nearby Woodhull Hospital with the baby, where she was pronounced dead.
The baby’s family said she had just started talking and saying the word “mama.”
Her mother spoke out last week, wanting to clear the record after the NYPD said her fiance may have been the intended targeted.
On Tuesday, Gonzalez also cast doubt on that theory.
“We allege that this was a targeted attempt at a person, but I am not prepared to say today definitively that the father was the target,” Gonzalez said.
