Two Chicago gang members were arrested Wednesday after they were allegedly involved in a May 14 shooting that targeted a family’s vehicle, leaving a 2-year-old girl wounded.

David Contreras, 18, and Rodolfo Irigoyen, 21, of the Two Six gang thought they were trailing the Latin Kings, a rival gang, as they followed and shot at the family’s Buick Encore SUV, which contained a 2-year-old, a 9-month-old, and their two parents, according to Cook County prosecutors.
