India Today
The New York Police Department (NYPD) said the baby girl, named Kaori, was an unintended target, describing the shooting as gang-motivated. At least two shots were fired by a pair of moped-borne male perpetrators.
A 7-month-old girl died after a stray bullet hit her while she was in her stroller in New York City's Brooklyn, according to local authorities. The incident took place on Wednesday, April 1 (local time) in broad daylight, the New York Police Department said.
A security footage from the scene captured the unnerving moment when the baby's mother, Lianna Charles-Moore, first realised that her infant had been shot.
The incident took place on a pavement, per the police. The New York Police Department (NYPD) said the baby girl, named Kaori, was an unintended target, describing the shooting as gang-motivated.
In footage cited by the New York Post, Charles-Moore is seen taking cover inside a deli with baby Kaori, her crying 2-year-old brother, and a man who appeared to be the baby girl's father as loud blasts rang out.
The family had initially mistaken the source of the booms to be fireworks.
The clip then shows Charles-Moore, who had been tending to her son, pulling back the stroller’s visor and bending down to glance at her infant daughter, only to find that she had suffered a fatal head wound.
