EAST WILLIAMSBURG, Brooklyn (WABC) — The two suspects arrested in last week’s deadly shooting of a 7-month-old baby girl in Brooklyn<\/a> have been indicted on second-degree murder and other charges.<\/p>\n

The Brooklyn district attorney announced the indictment against Amuri Greene and Matthew Rodriguez on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

The suspects are also charged in the shooting of the victim’s 2-year-old brother who was grazed by a bullet.<\/p>\n

Greene, the suspected gunman, waived his right to attend his first court appearance.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Both men should be arraigned on their indictment at that time.<\/p>\n

They are facing charges in connection to the death of Kaori Patterson-Moore last Wednesday in East Williamsburg.<\/p>\n

Patterson-Moore was being pushed in a stroller by her mother when shots rang out in the middle of the day.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The child’s father ran to the nearby Woodhull Hospital with the baby, where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

The baby’s family said she had just started talking and saying the word “mama.”<\/p>\n

Her mother spoke out last week, wanting to clear the record after the NYPD said her fiance may have been the intended targeted.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Gonzalez also cast doubt on that theory.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n
