Two men facing charges in what authorities describe as a gang-related shooting that left a 7-month-old baby dead in Brooklyn were captured on surveillance video crashing the moped they used to flee the scene, according to police.
The video shows the two suspects traveling the wrong way down a one-way street before colliding with a black sedan heading toward them.
The impact of the crash sent both men forward off the motorbike, where they landed on the pavement.
Footage shows the suspects attempting to regain their footing, with one appearing to hop on his right foot, while both gather items scattered during the crash before moving back toward the moped.

The victim, identified as Kaori Patterson-Moore of Brooklyn, was with her family at the time of the shooting.
Authorities said her mother was pushing her in a stroller early Wednesday afternoon when shots were fired in their direction. Kaori’s father and 2-year-old brother were also present.
The family attempted to escape the gunfire by taking cover inside a nearby bodega.

Despite their efforts, Kaori was struck during the incident. She was transported to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
The New York Police Department announced Thursday that 21-year-old Amuri Greene has been identified as the suspected gunman.
Police said Greene is a known affiliate of a gang operating out of a housing project in Brooklyn. Investigators are examining whether the intended target of the shooting may have been Kaori’s father.
According to police, Greene was riding as the rear passenger on the moped at the time of the shooting.

After the crash captured on surveillance video, he sustained a broken leg and was taken to a hospital.
While receiving treatment, Greene was arrested on unrelated domestic violence charges.
Authorities said Greene has since been charged with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder in connection with the shooting.
Police stated he will be taken into custody and formally arraigned following his release from the hospital.
The second suspect, identified as 18-year-old Matthew Rodriguez, was arrested Friday in Pennsylvania.
Police said Rodriguez was driving the moped during the incident and was taken into custody by NYPD detectives assigned to the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force.
Charges against Rodriguez are pending.
Investigators have not yet recovered the firearm used in the shooting.
However, police reported that two shell casings believed to be connected to the incident were located at the scene.
At a news conference addressing the case, NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch spoke about the impact of the crime.
“This is a terrible day in our city, a tragedy that truly shocks the conscious,” Tisch said.
“As a mother, I cannot imagine the pain that this family is feeling or the grief that they now carry with them. It is unspeakable.”
Authorities continue to ask for assistance from the public as the investigation remains ongoing.
Police urged anyone with information about the shooting to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or, for Spanish speakers, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Tips can also be submitted online or through X @NYPDTips.
Meanwhile, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani blames 'gun violence' instead of the gang-banging thug who pulled the trigger:

COMMENTS POLICY: We have no tolerance for messages of violence, racism, vulgarity, obscenity or other such discourteous behavior. Thank you for contributing to a respectful and useful online dialogue.
Crack down on gang violance and gun violance will be cut by 90%. Even a Commie should be able to figure that out on his own.
Of course it’s the inanimate gun that did the deed. Not the scumbag, immoral gangbanger that squeezed the trigger! Yeah, riiiight!
Yes, libs. Keep feeding this idiotic trash to people and MAYBE some other brain-dead libs will believe it.
But the rest of us know better!
Guns should be allowed to be owned ONLY by moral people, which most people are.
Those who are criminals should NEVER be able to even touch a gun!
But since this is not the case, moral people MUST be allowed, as the Constitution clearly states, to protect themselves from these scumbags with their own LEGALLY owned weapons.
But violence is just a figment of our imagination according to Comrade Mayor.
