Police to charge suspect in fatal shooting of infant in Brooklyn A man suspected of shooting and killing a 7-month-old baby in a stroller will be charged with murder, and police are continuing their search for a second suspect, New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced at a press conference on Thursday. The incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon in Williamsburg, where a man riding on the back of a moped fired at a group of adults and children on a sidewalk, resulting in the death of Kaori Patterson–Moore. Kaori, who resided in Clinton Hill, was shot in her stroller around 1:21 p.m. at the intersection of Moore and Humboldt streets. She was transported to New York City Health and Hospitals/Woodhull by private means and was pronounced deceased at the hospital, according to police. The drive-by shooting has left the city in shock, with officials expressing deep sorrow over the tragedy. Mayor Zohran Mamdani addressed the public at a press conference at the scene on Wednesday, stating, “There are no words that can mend the heartbreak this family is feeling right now. A life that had barely begun was taken in an instant.” Tisch, speaking at the same press conference, described the shooting as a “terrible day in our city,” emphasizing the profound grief experienced by the victim’s family. Tisch provided details about the incident, noting that the shooter fired at least two rounds at a corner where several adults and two strollers were present, with multiple children nearby. The victim was in one of the strollers. A 911 call led police to believe the moped’s passenger was taken to The Brooklyn Hospital Center by Emergency Medical Services and was held in custody for an unrelated investigation.#zohran_mamdani #brooklyn #new_york_police_department #jessica_tisch #kaori_patterson_moore
