Mourners gathered in Bedford-Stuyvesant Monday evening to honor a 7-month-old girl killed by a stray bullet while sitting in her stroller, as two suspects now face charges in her death and a community grapples with grief and outrage.<\/p>\n
Family members, friends and neighbors filled Woodward Funeral Home, many wearing pink in honor of Kaori Patterson-Moore. The infant was shot and killed earlier this month<\/a> while seated in her stroller, authorities said.<\/p>\n What You Need To Know<\/p>\n Family members, friends and neighbors filled Woodward Funeral Home Monday night, many wearing pink in honor of 7-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore The Rev. Al Sharpton, founder of the National Action Network, delivered the eulogy.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you can look at a coffin that doesn\u2019t even need pallbearers and that doesn\u2019t shake you in your heart, then something\u2019s numb about you, and we cannot have a numb community,\u201d Sharpton said.<\/p>\n Sharpton later told reporters he promised the family continued support.<\/p>\n \u201cSoon the cameras will be gone, the people will be gone \u2014 they will always bear this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez also attended the funeral. Last week, he announced that a grand jury indicted two men<\/a> on second-degree murder charges in connection with the baby\u2019s death.<\/p>\n Prosecutors allege that 21-year-old Amuri Greene<\/a> and 18-year-old Matthew Rodriguez<\/a> were involved in the shooting. Greene faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, and has pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n Investigators said Rodriguez drove a moped against traffic on Humboldt Street with Greene riding on the back. Greene is accused of firing two shots, striking the infant in her stroller.<\/p>\n Rodriguez was later apprehended in Pennsylvania, where he remains in custody. The district attorney said he is expected to be extradited this week and arraigned on a second-degree murder charge.<\/p>\n Authorities said the shooting stemmed from a dispute and that the gunman admitted he intended to shoot someone else in the crowd.<\/p>\n The killing has sparked outrage among community members.<\/p>\n Calvin Hunt, who traveled from Harlem with a framed photo of the infant, called for action to address gun violence.<\/p>\n \u201cWe, the people in the community, we know where these guns are at. We know who the gang members are \u2014 your family members know who the gang members are, your mother, your father, you all know who the gang members are. We\u2019ve got to get these creeps off the street,\u201d Hunt said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mourners gathered in Bedford-Stuyvesant Monday evening to honor a 7-month-old girl killed by a stray bullet while sitting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":196695,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[10015,387,25,98,100,99,303,9,24,12,63,1174,308,380,27,200],"class_list":{"0":"post-196694","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-app-crime","9":"tag-app-public-safety","10":"tag-app-top-stories","11":"tag-brooklyn","12":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","13":"tag-brooklyn-news","14":"tag-crime","15":"tag-new-york","16":"tag-new-york-city","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-nyc","19":"tag-olivia-leach","20":"tag-public-safety","21":"tag-spectrum-news-staff","22":"tag-top-stories","23":"tag-vod"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=196694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/196695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=196694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=196694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
