Young, 37, who is from South Florida, shot both children with a rifle, but the motive wasn't clear, according to the Daytona Beach Police Department.
The boy was pronounced dead shortly after he was taken to a nearby hospital with a wound to the torso, and the infant girl was taken to a children's hospital in Orlando with a wound to the wrist, authorities said.
Young was being held on outstanding warrants from Volusia and Miami-Dade counties for fleeing and probation violation. Authorities said charges were pending for Thursday's shootings, so there was no court record yet for Young.
