Police determined that two or more people in a white car carried out the shooting. Authorities said one man got out of the car and opened fire with a handgun and that the intended targets were a group of men who were gathered west of where the child was playing.
The group of men fled, while the white car sped away. Two men were identified by police as documented gang members and arrested in connection with the shooting. The two men, identified as Ricardo Cruz, 19, of Buena Park, and Alfredo Miguel Aquino, 20, of Anaheim, were taken into custody and are being held on $1 million bail.
