All were rescued but a baby and her mother died, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
A GoFundMe campaign identified the victims as 27-year-old Sara Sanchez and her 5-month-old daughter, Antonella Garcia, of Queens.
Ortiz also said the boat appeared to be too heavy and that Hernandez did not help passengers get out of the water.
The NYPD is still investigating whether Hernandez was running an illegal charter operation and whether the boat was over capacity.
