Aside from the child who was shot, the gangs — known as Woo, a combination of the Bloods and Crips, and Choo, a Folk Nation gang — are also responsible for shooting a cab driver for playing music from a rival gang, the sources said.
DA Eric Gonzalez and Sewell are slated to announce the arrests and more details on the investigation at 12:30 p.m.
