Overview
- Kaori Patterson-Moore, 7 months, was fatally struck Wednesday afternoon when a passenger on a moped fired at least two shots toward families at Moore and Humboldt in East Williamsburg.
- The pair crashed into an oncoming car a few blocks away, and the injured passenger sought hospital care before police detained him using surveillance video and items recovered at the crash site.
- Police identified the patient as Amuri Greene, 21, and on Thursday charged him with multiple counts including murder, attempted murder, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon.
- The moped’s driver fled and remains the focus of a citywide manhunt, with police circulating images and asking for tips through the Crime Stoppers line.
- Investigators say the baby was an unintended victim in a likely gang-related dispute, the 2-year-old brother was grazed and survived, and local clergy offered a $5,000 reward as the neighborhood mourned.
