On Wednesday, a second suspect was arraigned on multiple charges, including murder, assault and other counts linked to the deadly shooting of 7-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore, according to Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.
His co-defendant, Mathew Rodriguez, was arraigned Tuesday.
The girl’s 2-year-old brother was also wounded in the shooting, after Greene and Rodriguez opened fire while on a moped near the corner of Humboldt Street and Moore Street in Bushwick.
“On a beautiful spring day, this senseless act of gun violence took the life of an innocent baby, traumatized a family and shook an entire community,” Gonzalez stated in a press release. “Little Kaori was killed, and her two-year-old brother was wounded — all because of a decision to settle a dispute with gunfire, with no regard for who might be harmed. With homicides in Brooklyn at a record low, this is exactly the kind of violence that we must fight against and never accept. We are determined to hold these defendants fully accountable.”
Among the charges Greene faces are three counts of second-degree murder, second-degree attempted murder, second-degree assault, two counts of first-degree criminal use of a firearm, two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm, first-degree reckless endangerment and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
Greene will be held without bail and is expected in court on June 10.
Through an investigation, officials learned that the defendants fled the scene on the moped, which struck a vehicle while going the wrong way on a one-way street and crashed a few blocks from the scene of the shooting. Greene was detained shortly thereafter, and Rodriguez was later arrested in Pennsylvania.
