The passenger allegedly opened fire before the pair fled the scene.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>According to investigators, the suspects were travelling the wrong way down the street when they approached the crowd. The gunman fired multiple shots, one of which struck the baby in the head.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Surveillance footage from a nearby bodega shows the harrowing aftermath. The child\u2019s mother, Lianna Charles-Moore, initially unaware of what had happened, was tending to her 2-year-old son when she looked into the stroller and discovered her daughter bleeding.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>Witnesses described scenes of panic and confusion. Some initially mistook the gunfire for fireworks before realising the severity of the situation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>One resident said he saw the baby on the ground as the mother screamed in distress. <!-- -->Another witness said she initially believed the sounds were firecrackers before feeling debris hit her legs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>The baby\u2019s father rushed her to Woodhull Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 1:46 pm. Her older brother suffered a minor graze wound and was treated.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3>What NYPD police said<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>Police said the suspects fled the scene on the motorbike but crashed into an oncoming vehicle two blocks away.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>The passenger was thrown off the bike and taken to hospital, where he was later identified as a person of interest and taken into custody in connection with a separate domestic incident. <!-- -->He had not been formally charged in the shooting as of Wednesday evening.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"35\"\/>Authorities have launched a manhunt for the second suspect, who was driving the motorbike.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/>Police Commissioner Jessica S.
