The man believed to be responsible for shooting a 26-year-old woman in the thigh as she was pushing her daughter in a stroller in the Bronx was indicted and charged with attempted murder and other felonies Tuesday, the district attorney's office said.
In addition to the second-degree attempted murder charge, Cody Ball was arraigned in Bronx Supreme Court on attempted assault, weapon possession, reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a child, among others.
Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said that Ball "acted recklessly with indifference to life when he fired a gun on a Bronx street."
