Two men involved in what authorities describe as a “gang-related” shooting, which tragically claimed the life of a 7-month-old infant in Brooklyn, were caught on surveillance footage as they attempted to escape the scene on a moped.

The video captures the suspects speeding the wrong way down a one-way street, only to collide head-on with a black sedan approaching them. The impact launched both individuals off the moped, propelling them onto the pavement.

In the aftermath of the crash, the footage shows the men struggling to stand, with one visibly limping on his right foot. They frantically retrieve scattered belongings before making their way back to the moped.

The infant, identified as Kaori Patterson-Moore from Brooklyn, was with her mother, who was pushing her in a stroller when gunfire erupted on Wednesday afternoon. Kaori’s father and 2-year-old brother were present and sought refuge in a nearby bodega to evade the gunshots.

Despite efforts to save her, Kaori was pronounced dead shortly after the incident at a local hospital.

The NYPD announced Thursday that 21-year-old Amuri Greene is the suspected triggerman. Police say he was a known affiliate of a gang that operates out of a housing project in Brooklyn. They are investigating whether Kaori’s father might have been the intended target of the shooting.

Greene was the rear passenger on the moped. He suffered a broken leg and was taken to the hospital after the crash, where he was subsequently arrested on unrelated domestic violence charges.

The NYPD announced Thursday that he has been charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder. He will be taken into custody and arraigned after his hospital stay.

Police announced Friday the second suspect, Matthew Rodriguez, was arrested in Pennsylvania. The 18-year-old, who can be seen driving the moped in the surveillance video, was taken into custody by NYPD detectives assigned to the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force. Charges are pending.

The gun used in the shooting has not been recovered, though police say they have found two shell casings related to the incident.

At an emotional news conference, NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch decried the heinous crime.

“This is a terrible day in our city, a tragedy that truly shocks the conscious,” she said. “As a mother, I cannot imagine the pain that this family is feeling or the grief that they now carry with them. It is unspeakable.”
