Denver police have arrested two men and a teenager in connection with the shooting Sunday that injured a baby and her father inside a Montbello apartment.

Lonell Pyles, 24, and Deshawn Goode, 21, and a 16-year-old juvenile were taken into custody in southeast Denver early Monday, detective Sharon Avendaño, police spokeswoman, said.

The victims, a 6-month-old girl and her father, continued to recover from their wounds the detective said. They remained unidentified.

Six adults and three children were in the third-floor unit of the The Villages at Gateway apartments in the 12000 block of East Albrook Drive playing video games before the shooting, police said.

In what may have been a robbery attempt, the alleged gunmen hit the infant in the face and her father in the leg.
