A man has been charged with murder after a seven-month-old baby died after being shot while sitting in her pushchair in New York.
Amuri Greene, 21, has been charged with three counts of murder and one of attempted murder after police accused him of fatally shooting Kaori Patterson-Moore on April 1.
Greene appeared in court on Friday where he pleaded not guilty, according to CBS News, the BBC's US partner. Officers believe the baby was the unintended victim of a gang-related shooting.
Police said a second suspect, Matthew Rodriguez, 18, had been arrested in connection with the shooting in Pennsylvania and charges were pending.
Footage from the incident shows two men on a motorcycle riding against traffic in the Williamsburg neighbourhood of Brooklyn, before a man on the back of the vehicle fired a gun.
Authorities believe Greene was on the motorcycle during the shooting and was thrown from the vehicle afterward, resulting in his hospitalization and police custody.
Greene also faces additional charges related to weapon possession and assault. Family and friends have gathered for a candlelight vigil at the site of the tragedy as the community mourns this shocking loss.
