EAST WILLIAMSBURG, Brooklyn — Authorities are continuing an intensive manhunt for a second suspect believed to be involved in the fatal shooting of a 7-month-old baby girl in Brooklyn, as the alleged gunman has been taken into custody.

Police have identified the suspected shooter as 21-year-old Amari Green, who is expected to face charges including murder and two counts of attempted murder.

Investigators have confirmed that they have identified a second individual—believed to be the driver of the moped used in the incident—but have not publicly released his name.

The shooting occurred Wednesday at approximately 1:00 p.m. near the intersection of Humboldt Street and Moore Street.

According to police, the infant, identified as Kaori Patterson-Moore, was being pushed in a stroller by her mother when gunfire erupted in what investigators believe to be a gang-related attack.

As shots were fired, bystanders fled for cover. The child’s parents, along with her 2-year-old brother, rushed to a nearby bodega seeking safety. Witnesses reported hearing the mother’s screams after realizing the infant had been struck.

The child’s father immediately transported the baby to Woodhull Hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The 2-year-old boy, who was also in the stroller at the time of the shooting, sustained a graze wound to the back but is expected to recover.

Authorities say the suspects fled the scene on a moped, traveling northbound on Humboldt Street. Surveillance footage captured the vehicle traveling the wrong way down a one-way street before colliding with another vehicle. Both individuals were thrown from the moped upon impact.

The alleged gunman was transported to a hospital following the crash and was later taken into custody in connection with an unrelated domestic violence-related robbery.

Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny stated that Green is a known associate of a street gang operating out of a Brooklyn public housing development. Investigators are exploring whether the child’s father may have been the intended target in an ongoing dispute involving rival groups.

Police continue to search for the second suspect, described as a young male last seen wearing light gray pants, a white T-shirt, and a black surgical mask covering the lower portion of his face. He was last observed fleeing in the direction of the Marcy Houses.

The New York Police Department has released an image of the individual and described the search effort as a “massive manhunt.”

The fatal shooting has drawn widespread condemnation and grief. Mayor Zohran Mamdani expressed condolences to the family, stating:

“Every single child in this city deserves to grow up free from the threat of gun violence, and every parent deserves the peace of mind of knowing their children are safe.”

In response to the tragedy, civil rights leader Rev. Kevin McCall, along with local clergy, announced a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the second suspect.
