""I didn't do it," Rodriguez yelled at news reporters. "I didn't know it was going to happen. I didn't know it was going to happen! It was not my fault! I didn't pull the trigger.""
"Rodriguez, who was extradited from Pennsylvania back to New York, shook his head as prosecutors detailed the April 1 shooting. Investigators said Rodriguez was the getaway driver when 21-year-old Amuri Greene fired multiple shots into a crowd on Moore and Humboldt streets in Bushwick."
"Gonzalez said the shooting may have been the result of a conflict over drill rap. According to investigators, baby Kaori was struck and killed while sitting in her stroller, and another bullet grazed her 2-year-old brother in the back."
""How did they get the gun?" Gonzalez said. "Where did that gun come from? I'm more concerned about that, as the DA, than who they were shooting at at that moment, because at that moment, we lost a beautiful young girl, and a 2-year-old boy will be scarred forever.""
Matthew Rodriguez, 18, faced arraignment for his alleged role in the shooting death of 7-month-old Kaori Patterson-Moore. He claimed innocence, stating he did not know the shooting would occur and did not pull the trigger. Rodriguez was reportedly the getaway driver for Amuri Greene, who fired shots into a crowd. The shooting, linked to a conflict over drill rap, resulted in the tragic death of the infant and injury to her brother. The Brooklyn District Attorney expressed concern over the source of the firearm used in the incident.
