Two suspects were arrested in California yesterday in connection to the road rage shooting death of a 6-year-old being driven to school by his mother last month.

Officers took 24-year-old Eriz Marcus Anthony and 23-year-old Lee Wynne into custody at their homes in Costa Mesa and are expected to be charged with murder.

The May 21 shooting death of 6-year-old Aiden Leos while his mother was driving him to school on the northbound 55 Freeway in Orange County, has gripped the county and the reward for information reached $500,000. Joanna Cloonan, the boy’s mother, said she was cut off by a couple in what appeared to be a white Volkswagen. She said she heard a loud noise and her son, who was behind her, said, “Ow.”

He had been shot. She pulled over as soon as she could. She called 911 and did her best to save him, but he was losing a lot of blood.

He was rushed to Children’s Hospital of Orange County where he was pronounced deceased.
