The moped-riding goons who shot a 7-month-old Brooklyn girl to death in her stroller were aiming for her dad, law enforcement sources said.
Little Kaori Patterson’s father, Jamari Patterson, 22, was apparently targeted in the brazen Wednesday afternoon hit over a social media beef with a crew from a rival housing project, investigators now believe, the sources said.
The gunmen missed Patterson but struck the helpless tot in the head with the bullet, which then grazed her 2-year-old brother’s back before the thugs sped off and crashed their moped two blocks away.
Alleged shooter Amuri Greene, 21, ended up in the hospital, where he was identified as a person of interest in the baby’s death — with NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch saying Thursday he would face murder charges.
Greene remained hospitalized Thursday and has not been charged.
Tisch said a “massive NYPD manhunt” had been launched to track down the driver of the moped, who fled the scene and is on the lam.
