Amuri Greene, who is currently hospitalized, will face two counts of attempted murder in connection with the death of a 7-month-old girl who was fatally shot in Brooklyn on Wednesday, the NYPD said.

Police said the baby, Kaori Patterson-Moore, was sitting in her stroller near Humboldt and Moore streets in Williamsburg Wednesday afternoon when a suspect sitting on the back of a moped nearby fired two rounds.

Patterson-Moore was struck by the gunfire and pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, the NYPD said.

After the shooting, the moped driver and passenger sped off and were eventually both flung off the vehicle when it crashed, according to police.

The driver fled the scene, while the passenger was taken to a local hospital for treatment, police said.

Authorities said Patterson-Moore was not the intended target, and added that the shooting was believed to be gang-related.

The father of a 7-month-old slain by a stranger’s bullet in Brooklyn claimed he had been trying to turn his life around when his infant was killed, he said in a letter Saturday.

Baby Kaori Patterson-Moore was fatally struck by a stray bullet at Humboldt Street and Moore Street in Bushwick on Wednesday, when a man fired a gun from the back of a moped as her parents pushed the tot and her 2-year-old brother in a stroller.

Police believe Kaori’s dad, Jamari Patterson, was the intended target.

“I wanted to spend my entire life being her father,” he wrote in a letter released to the media after a community vigil Saturday afternoon.

“When they put my baby in the incubator because she was premature, I couldn’t wait to take her home and just have her with me hugging and loving her forever.”

He wrote of having graduated from a program and changing his life after his daughter’s birth.

“Upon graduating, I ended up having my beautiful baby girl, seeing her for the first time I knew she was special,” the letter reads.

When he finally got to take her home, he “made sure her and her mom and her brother all stayed with me and vowed I changed my life for them through music,” the letter continued. “The life I live, even getting different jobs to stay away from negativity, I begin to change things up. Which is facts.”

The shooting has been devastating, he wrote.

“I really don’t understand,” he said. “I was literally taking her outside to get her ears pierced, new clothes and shoes for her and her brother. I just taught my baby how to take a step. She took her first step to me, her only step. I can no longer sing to my baby, or nothing.”

“I miss her so much. I want my baby back.”

The letter came as Kaori’s relatives gathered with a crowd of about 50 mourners Saturday afternoon in a vigil to mourn the baby.

Detectives believe the gunman was aiming Patterson, who allegedly had ties to the Money Over Everything gang in Bushwick Houses NYCHA development, cops said.
