\"2 2 men indicted for shooting death of Brooklyn infant<\/a> <\/p>\n

Two men have been indicted in the deadly shooting of 7-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore in Brooklyn. Amuri Greene, 21, and Matthew Rodriguez, 18, face multiple charges, including second-degree murder, attempted murder, assault and weapons possession.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK CITY – The life of 7-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore<\/a> was tragically cut short earlier this month on a Brooklyn street. The two men police say carried out the deadly shooting are expected to appear in court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

What we know:<\/p>\n

Amuri Greene, 21, and Matthew Rodriguez, 18, have both been charged with second-degree murder, attempted murder, assault and weapons possession.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say the suspects fired into a crowd from a moving moped, striking Kaori Patterson-Moore in the head and grazing her 2-year-old brother.<\/p>\n

They were both indicted last week, but are expected to be formally arraigned on Tuesday following Rodriguez’s extradition from Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

The backstory:<\/p>\n

Patterson-Moore was struck in the head<\/a> by a stray bullet during a daytime shooting on April 1 near Moore Street and Humboldt Street in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Investigators say the infant\u2019s mother was pushing her and her brother in a stroller when two men approached on a moped and opened fire toward a group gathered on the corner.<\/p>\n

The suspects fled the scene, crashing minutes later while riding the wrong way. Surveillance video shows them being thrown from the moped before getting back on and continuing to flee.<\/p>\n

What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

A grieving Brooklyn community came together over the weekend to honor the life of the 7-month-old victim.<\/p>\n

“This tragedy has deeply shaken our community, and our hearts are heavy with grief,” vigil organizers said. “This should never be happening, and it is incredibly sad. Now more than ever, we must come together as a community united in prayer, worship, and compassion.”<\/p>\n
