'Person of interest' in senseless shooting death of 7-month-old NYC tot to face murder charge: cops
Share this @internewscast.com

A Brooklyn toddler, who tragically lost her life while in her stroller, was not the only victim of the deadly bullet; her older brother was also struck by the same shot. Authorities have announced that a murder charge will soon be filed against a person of interest in the case.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch revealed that Amuri Greene, 21, is expected to face charges for the fatal shooting that claimed the life of 7-month-old Kaori Patterson and left her 2-year-old brother injured with a back wound. Despite having no prior criminal record, Greene is linked to recent robbery investigations and became a person of interest after arriving at a local hospital with a leg injury shortly after the incident.

Investigators are exploring the possibility that the children’s father was the intended target, as tensions have been escalating between two housing projects in Brooklyn, according to sources.

The tragic event unfolded at approximately 1:20 p.m. on Wednesday. Kaori’s mother, 20-year-old Lianna Charles-Moore, was pushing her two children in a double stroller near the intersection of Humboldt and Moore streets in Williamsburg when gunfire erupted.

In a desperate attempt to find safety, she rushed into a nearby bodega. It was there that she discovered her daughter, Kaori, covered in blood, prompting her to scream in despair—a heartbreaking moment captured by the store’s security cameras.

She dashed into a nearby bodega for shelter when she looked down and saw little Kaori covered in blood and began hysterically screaming – with the horrifying scene caught on store security video.

The baby was rushed to Woodhall Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 1:46 p.m.

“We thought it was fireworks, but my son jumped out of the stroller and I picked him up and carried him,” Charles-Moore told The Post Wednesday.

“I was hugging him and then when I looked to my left, my daughter was just there, lying there. She was shot in the head. She was just bleeding. It was just too much.”

According to sources, the same bullet that killed the baby then grazed her brother’s back.

Surveillance cameras at the scene released by police captured the suspects at the scene, with the passenger firing from the back of a moped while his accomplice speeds away.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said at a press briefing Wednesday that the pair crashed head-on into a car two blocks away, sending Greene to the hospital, where he was allegedly identified as a person of interest and taken into custody.

He is being held for questioning on an unrelated alleged domestic violence incident.

The driver of the moped is now the subject of “a massive NYPD manhunt,” Tisch told reporters.

Karoi’s family said the tot had just learned to say “mama.”

Tisch said Kaori and her mom were on a crowded sidewalk with several adults and children, including in another stroller when the suspect fired at least two shots.

She said the shooting was gang related, but did not provide details.

Cops do not believe the baby was the intended target, law enforcement sources said.
