The suspects in the Brooklyn shooting that killed a 7-month-old girl are expected to be arraigned.
Amuri Greene, 21, and Matthew Rodriguez, 18, will be in a Manhattan courtroom Tuesday morning. They were allegedly involved in the stray-bullet shooting that killed Kaori Patterson-Moore two weeks ago.
Police say Greene was on the back of a moped driven by Rodriguez in East Williamsburg. Greene fired the fatal shot before the two took off, prosecutors say.
He is facing a host of charges, including second-degree murder, attempted murder and endangering the welfare of a child. Rodriguez was charged with second-degree murder, attempted murder and assault, among others.
On just the second-degree murder charge, both men would face 25 years to life in prison if convicted.
What happened to Kaori Patterson-Moore?
The little girl was struck by a bullet while in a stroller at Moore and Humboldt streets on April 1. Her mother ducked into a nearby store when she heard gunshots. Then, she noticed her baby bleeding.
Kaori’s father rushed her to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The bullet also grazed her 2-year-old brother, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney.
Investigators believe the shooting may have been gang-related.
Family remembers their baby girl
Family and community members attended the funeral for Kaori on Monday night.
Godfather Raheem Jennings said Kaori’s mother, Lianna Charles-Moore, is facing an unimaginable loss.
“It was horrible. They had to take her out. She ran out crying, very hysterical, and was chased out by the support system,” he said.
Charles-Moore previously told CBS News New York that Kaori was always laughing, smiling and brightening her family’s day.
