The 3-month-old baby was not harmed in the incident, officials have said.
It was not immediately clear if Argro had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Police have said that a gunman dressed in a black sweatshirt and black pants approached the Johnson as she pushed the stroller on East 95th Street and shot her once in the head at close range, and fled on foot.
