An overnight fire in East Flatbush resulted in the deaths of two individuals, an 80-year-old woman and a 59-year-old man, who were both taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.
Accused gunman Amuri Greene, 21, insisted that he was simply 'driving around' - not pulling the trigger - when little Kaori Patterson-Moore was struck in the head by a stray bullet while in her stroller in Williamsburg earlier this month.
The investigation looked at 36 shootings that resulted in 11 victims, including one who died as a result of his injuries. One innocent bystander was struck while taking out the trash.
"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. "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."
