(CNN) --

Two suspects were detained, one after a shooting, in connection with a "cartel-style" execution that left six dead last month in a small central California community, including a young mother and her 10-year-old son. months, authorities announced this Friday.

The suspects, identified in charging documents as Angel Uriarte, 35, and Noah Beard, 25, are known members of the Norteño gang, Tulare County Police Chief Mike Boudreaux said during a news conference. .

He said the January 16 shooting was likely the result of a conflict with members of the Sureños, a rival gang.

The other four victims of the attack that occurred this Monday were identified as Marcos Parraz, 19;

Eladio Parraz, 52;

Alissa's grandmother, Rosa Parraz, 72;

and Jennifer Analla, 49.

"The suspects and victims have long histories of gun violence, very active in guns, gang violence, gun violence and narcotics trafficking," Boudreaux said, adding that "the motive is not exactly clear at this time."

Authorities said Uriarte was wounded in a shootout with ATF agents before being taken into custody.

He is hospitalized and in stable condition, according to ATF Acting Special Agent in Charge Joshua Jackson.

Beard was taken into custody without incident.

Beard is accused of killing 16-year-old Alissa Parraz and her 10-month-old son Nycholas as they fled an overnight shooting at a home in Goshen, a small farming community about 30 miles (48 kilometers) southeast of Fresno.

Authorities released surveillance video Friday showing the young mother lifting her son over a fence and climbing.

Both were found dead on the street in front of the house.

Together with the mother and her son, the other four victims were identified as Marcos Parraz, 19;

Eladio Parraz, 52;

Alissa's grandmother, Rosa Parraz, 72;

and Jennifer Analla, 49.

Boudreaux said all the victims died of gunshot wounds, most were shot in the head, including the 10-month-old boy.

“This was clearly not a random act of violence.

This family was targeted by cold-blooded killers,” Boudreaux said.

The arrests were part of a multi-agency effort dubbed Operation Nightmare, which included searches of several California prisons and 24/7 surveillance of the suspects for the past 10 days.

DNA left behind at the scene was credited with quickly leading police to zero in on the pair of suspects.

Uriarte and Beard each face six counts of murder, according to Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward, along with enhancement charges involving the use of a firearm, and that the acts were committed with the participation of a criminal street gang.

The suspects may eventually face the death penalty if convicted.

CNN is trying to determine if both suspects have legal representation.

The massacre came ahead of a series of back-to-back mass shootings in California late last month, including an attack during a Lunar New Year celebration in suburban Monterey Park, west of Los Angeles.

That shooting that occurred on January 21 left 11 dead.

Another attack that occurred on January 23 left four dead at a California mushroom farm in Half Moon Bay.

That night, another shooting, this time in Oakland, left one dead and seven wounded.
