The gunman suspected of shooting a 1-year-old Brooklyn boy in the head as he crossed a street in his stroller is in custody in Pennsylvania, authorities said.
NYPD officers and authorities with the U.S. Marshal Regional Fugitive Task Force apprehended 23-year-old Daquan Breland, who is believed to be the shooter, Friday in Wilkes-Barre, according to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
Daquan Wright, 19, was also taken into custody. Police believe he gave the gun used in the shooting to Breland.
Antiq Hennis was shot in the head Sunday evening as his father pushed his stroller across Livonia Avenue in Brownsville. Authorities have said the shooting may have been gang-related, with his father as the intended target.
Police said four shots were fired, and one hit Antiq on the left side of his head. Two bullets were found in his stroller.
In a 2009 mugshot, Breland can be seen with a tattoo that reads "family comes 1st." He served time that year for a shooting in Auburn, N.Y.; the details of that case were not immediately clear.
Kelly said Friday afternoon that the gun used in the shooting had been located. He would not comment on a motive.
