The baby was shot in the face on Sunday night at about 7:20 p.m. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the target was the boy's father.

"I heard three to four shots. I saw a man with a stroller screaming: 'My baby got shot! My baby got shot! He was going crazy," witness Gina Gambo told the New York Post.

The killing was "a tragedy for his family, for this community, for the entire city," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

This marks the second time year a baby in a stroller was shot dead. On Friday, De'Marquise Elkins, an 18-year-old, was convicted of murdering 13-month-old Antonio Santiago in an attempted robbery attempt of the boy's motherr.
