Overview
- Matthew Rodriguez, 18, who police say drove the moped, pleaded not guilty Tuesday after extradition from Pennsylvania and faces charges including second-degree murder and attempted murder.
- Prosecutors said in court that after a crash during the getaway Rodriguez picked up the handgun and handed it back to alleged shooter Amuri Greene, reinforcing an acting-in-concert case under state law.
- Greene, 21, is expected to be arraigned Wednesday on second-degree murder and related counts for firing into a daytime crowd on April 1, killing 7-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore and grazing her 2-year-old brother.
- Investigators say the gunman admitted he intended to hit someone else in the crowd and they are examining a possible gang or drill-rap dispute, a claim the family disputes.
- The community held vigils and a funeral with a horse-drawn procession as leaders pressed for steady funding for youth programs and mental-health care to curb future violence.
