From near-record warmth to feeling more like March, the Hudson Valley has taken a step back!

A 7-month-old girl was killed in a shooting in Bushwick Wednesday afternoon, after being hit by a stray bullet while sitting in a stroller.

It happened around 1:20 p.m. at the corner of Moore Street and Humboldt Street.

Police say two people were riding a moped through the area — going the wrong way down the street — when the person in the back pulled out a gun and started shooting.

The passenger, believed to be the shooter, is now in custody but the driver is still on the run. Police say they believe the shooting is gang related.

At the time, several adults and children were outside on the corner.

The baby was struck in the head by a stray bullet.

Police say her father rushed her to NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull, but she did not survive. She was pronounced dead a short time later.

Investigators believe the shooting was gang-related.

The scene quickly turned chaotic.

A nearby worker told News 12 the moment the baby’s mother realized what had happened.

“When she looked to the stroller and saw the baby bleeding, she went crazy and left,” the worker said. “Bullet in the head, and a lot of milk in the mouth.”

After the shooting, the two people on the moped sped off but crashed just a few blocks away.

Police say the passenger — believed to be the shooter — was thrown from the bike and later taken to the hospital. He is now in custody in connection to a separate case as investigators work to determine his role in this shooting.

The driver of the moped is still on the run.

Police describe him as a young man last seen wearing gray pants, a white T-shirt and a black mask, with long hair. He was last seen heading toward the Marcy Houses.

The moped used in the shooting has been recovered, and investigators say they are using K-9s and other resources to track the driver’s movements.

So far, no charges have been announced in connection to the baby’s death.

Police are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
