NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — Police have arrested a man who they say opened fire on a Bronx street and struck a mother as she walked with her 2-year-old daughter in a stroller last week.
Cody Ball, 27, has been charged with attempted murder, robbery, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a firearm in connection with the Nov. 4 shooting.
Authorities said Ball opened fire just before 6 p.m., following an argument with a 22-year-old man and two others at Broadway and West 225th Street in the Marble Hill neighborhood.
Video from the incident showed at least one gunshot striking the 28-year-old mother in the leg. She was pushing her toddler in a stroller at the time.
The child was not injured, police said.
A bystander came to the mother’s aid and covered her injury with a sweater, according to police.
She was then transported to New York-Presbyterian Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where she was listed in stable condition.
Authorities on Wednesday confirmed they are still seeking a second suspect in the shooting.
That suspect is described as a dark-skinned male approximately 25-30 years of age, 5’9” tall and 170- 180lbs. He was last seen wearing a black hat, black jacket with the word Brooklyn across the back, grey sweatpants and black sneakers.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or on Twitter @NYPDTips.
