Tears, heartbreak and an overwhelming sense of loss filled Brooklyn Monday night at the funeral for 7-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore, who was killed less than two weeks ago in a stray-bullet shooting<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Flowers surrounded the baby girl’s tiny casket inside the Lawrence Woodward Funeral Home in Crown Heights, as family members clutched each other and said their final goodbyes<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s sad. It’s heartbreaking. It’s just unbelievable that we even have to be here today, that we had to set something like this up. It’s just sad,” a man at the funeral said. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“It was horrible … She ran out crying”<\/p>\n

Those who attended made sure to support Kaori’s mother<\/a>, Lianna Charles-Moore.<\/p>\n

“It was horrible. They had to take her out. She ran out crying, very hysterical, and was chased out by the support system,” godfather Raheem Jennings said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rev. Al Sharpton consoled the baby’s family.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If you can a coffin that doesn’t even need pallbearers, and that doesn’t shake you in your heart and in you life, then something’s numb about you,” Sharpton said. “And we cannot have a numb community.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

2 suspects charged with murder<\/p>\n

On April 1 in East Williamsburg, gunfire erupted in broad daylight and a stray bullet struck and killed Kaori in her stroller.\u00a0Two suspects<\/a>\u00a0have been arrested and face several charges, including murder.<\/p>\n

According to police, 21-year-old Amuri Greene fired the fatal shot from a moped being driven by Matthew Rodriguez, 18. Investigators believe the shooting may have been gang-related.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, Kaori’s mother is left with memories, her family is left with questions<\/a> and the community is searching for answers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
