18-year-old arraigned on multiple charges including murder after shooting of 7-month-old girl in Brooklyn

NBC New York reports that 18-year-old Matthew Rodriguez was arraigned on murder and attempted murder charges in connection with the death of seven-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore, who was killed by a stray bullet in Brooklyn. Rodriguez, who was driving the scooter from which his co-defendant Amuri Greene allegedly fired, claims he did not pull the trigger; authorities say Greene opened fire while riding behind Rodriguez, who then fled the scene. The reporting is sourced from named officials including Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez and includes specific investigative details (the scooter crash, the one-way street collision, Rodriguez's arrest in Pennsylvania), reflecting solid local news standards. Corroboration from Gothamist, ABC7, NY1, and other outlets confirms both suspects were charged with second-degree murder, establishes that the victim was not the intended target, and documents community response including vigils—details absent from the NBC piece that provide broader context. Watch for Wednesday's formal charging of co-defendant Greene and the District Attorney's announcement on gun violence intervention efforts.
