‘Shooter’s bro freed

- Georgett Roberts

The brother of the man accused of shooting a 4-yearold girl in Times Square was released without bail Wednesday following his own bust for allegedly trying to rip off a tourist.

Prosecutor­s said there was nothing they could do about it — as none of the charges lodged against CD peddler Joshua Muhammad qualify for bail under the state justice reform.

Muhammad, the intended target when his brother allegedly wounded the youngster on May 8, was instead granted supervised release after being charged with strong-arming a tourist along with another man on Tuesday.

Prosecutor­s said Muhammad, 30, and a second man, Jamal Goode, 35, teamed up to rip off a tourist after selling him a CD at around 3:30 p.m. in the Crossroads of the World.
