Investigators said the shooting took place near Freemon Park in west Tuscaloosa.
Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox called the shooting "senseless" in a Facebook post, and said the suspects were previously known to law enforcement. He said the Tuscaloosa Police Department will work relentlessly to catch those responsible.
The victims killed have not yet been identified publicly, but police said one was a male in his 20's and the second was a 2-year-old child who was critically injured in the shooting and died later Sunday night.
