A seven-month-old baby girl in a buggy was shot dead in a suspected gang shooting, authorities have said.
One suspect is still at large following the shooting in Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday.
Two men on a moped sped down a street and the one on the back opened fire at a street corner where several adults and children were gathered at around 1.20pm.
The victim's parents ran into a nearby shop before discovering their baby covered in blood, according to an affiliate of NBC News, Sky News' US partner network.
Both suspects then sped off before crashing into an oncoming car.
The impact threw both men off the moped so hard that the passenger lost both his shoes.
Meanwhile the victim was taken to hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters.
Police took one of the men into custody, with the police commissioner saying he "fits the description of our shooter, based on both clothing and appearance," while the other suspect is still being sought.
"At this time, this shooting is believed to be gang-motivated, with the victim being an unintended target," she added.

"There are no words that can mend the heartbreak this family is feeling right now," New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani said shortly after the shooting.
"A life that had barely begun was taken in an instant."
The mayor added: "Today is a devastating reminder of how much more work there is to be done to combat gun violence across this city."
While gun violence and shootings are common in the United States, the New York City Police Department reported in January that 2025 was the city's safest year ever for gun violence in data going back to 1994.
The city recorded 688 shooting incidents in 2025, the department said, down 24% from 2024.
