New York ( CNN ) -- A 23-year-old man was arraigned Saturday on a murder charge in the death of a toddler shot as his parents pushed him in a stroller across a Brooklyn street . Howard Jackson , a prosecutor with the Brooklyn District Attorney 's office , told reporters Saturday that Daquan Breland faces a criminal possession of a weapon charge in addition to second-degree murder . At his initial appearance Saturday , Breland was ordered to remain behind bars ; he 's scheduled to next be in court September 12 , according to Jackson . Breland is on parole for a felony assault in upstate New York , according to police . A call placed by CNN on Saturday night to his court-appointed attorney , George Sheinberg , was not immediately returned . Breland and another young man , Daquan Wright , were apprehended Friday morning by New York detectives and U.S. marshals at a Wilkes-Barre , Pennsylvania , apartment according to New York police Commissioner Ray Kelly . `` They fled New York City almost immediately after this incident and that 's where they were located , '' Jackson said of the central Pennsylvania city . Wright , a 19-year-old from Brooklyn , was charged Saturday with criminal possession of a weapon . Their arrests stem from last Sunday evening , when 16-month-old Antiq Hennis was in a stroller on Livonia Avenue in Brooklyn . An eyewitness said Breland opened fire after Wright handed him a gun , according to Kelly , who did not cite a possible motive . Antiq was shot in the left side of his head , according to police . The toddler was transported to Brookdale University Hospital and pronounced dead on arrival . Both men have some kind of relationship with the young boy 's father , 21-year-old Anthony Hennis , who as of Friday had declined to be interviewed , according to Kelly . Jackson said Saturday that he personally had n't yet spoken with Anthony Hennis , though his hope was that he 'd be cooperative . As to the case , the prosecutor said it was hard not to feel for the boy 's kin . `` I have n't prosecuted a case like this before , '' said Jackson , who handles homicide cases for his office . `` ... Even if you do n't know this child , you could n't help but grieve for the family . '' CNN 's Erinn Cawthon contributed to this report .
