The man accused of shooting and killing a baby girl in Brooklyn<\/a> is expected to be arraigned Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Amuri Greene, 21, was allegedly on the back of a moped when he fired a shot that struck Kaori Patterson-Moore<\/a> on April 1 in East Williamsburg.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Suspect faces numerous charges<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say Greene fired multiple shots into a crowd of people, killing Kaori and injuring her 2-year-old brother. Then, he and the driver of the moped, Matthew Rodriguez, tried to drive away, police said. They crashed into oncoming traffic, with Greene ending up in the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He is facing a host of charges<\/a>, including second-degree murder, attempted murder and endangering the welfare of a child.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

If convicted of murder, he would face 25 years to life in prison.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other suspect pleads not guilty<\/p>\n

Rodriguez, 18, was arraigned on the same indictment and pleaded not guilty Tuesday<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I didn’t do it. I didn’t know it was gonna happen. It’s not my fault. I didn’t know he was gonna pull the trigger,” Rodriguez said following his arrest. \u00a0<\/p>\n

A prosecutor said after the crash, Rodriguez picked up the gun used in the incident and handed it back to Greene.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While he was in court, a horse-drawn carriage drove Kaori’s tiny pink casket<\/a> through Brooklyn. It was accompanied by flowers in the design of Minnie Mouse, all the way to her final resting place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her mother, Lianna Charles Moore, previously described her daughters as always laughing, smiling and brightening her family’s day.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
