The two suspects accused in the fatal shooting of a 7-month-old girl in Brooklyn<\/a> were indicted Tuesday on multiple charges, including murder.<\/p>\n

Kaori Patterson-Moore<\/a> was struck by a stray bullet while her family was pushing her in a stroller<\/a> at Moore and Humboldt streets in East Williamsburg on April 1.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said the bullet also grazed the victim’s 2-year-old brother, who is recovering.<\/p>\n

Suspect waives court appearance<\/p>\n

According to police, 21-year-old Amuri Greene fired the shot from a moped that was driven by Matthew Rodriguez, 18.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, Greene waived a court appearance but was indicted on a long list of charges, including second-degree murder, attempted murder and endangering the welfare of a child.<\/p>\n

“Out of respect to the process, I have no comment,” defense attorney Jay Schwitzman said.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez was apprehended in Pennsylvania<\/a>, and the DA said he’ll be extradited to New York City next week, also for second-degree murder and other charges.<\/p>\n

On just the second-degree murder charge, both men would face 25 years to life in prison if convicted.<\/p>\n

“These gunmen driving by on a scooter recklessly shot into a crowd intending to kill another person,” Gonzalez said.<\/p>\n

“We hope they get what they deserve” <\/p>\n

CBS News New York’s Lisa Rozner spoke to Kaori’s family<\/a> by phone Tuesday as they were at church making funeral arrangements.<\/p>\n

The victim’s mother, Lianna Charles-Moore, said she hopes both men get life in prison. In a text, she said, in part, “We hope they get what they deserve.”<\/p>\n

The DA was asked if the baby’s father was the intended target, a theory the family has denied.<\/p>\n

“We allege that this was a targeted attempt at a person, but I’m not prepared to say today definitively that the father was the target,” Gonzalez said.<\/p>\n

He added the motive for the shooting was a personal disagreement, and that the DA, himself, grew up two blocks from the shooting, so it hits close to home.<\/p>\n

The DA said Brooklyn has seen a decline in gun violence, but that the case highlights the need for more gun violence prevention.<\/p>\n
