11-year-old Kyhara Tay was shot and killed by a gunman on a scooter who missed his intended target.
Detectives said Bojang was driving the scooter while Godwin was riding on the back.
Godwin opened fire at the teen they were chasing but missed, the NYPD said.
A bullet traveled about half a block and struck Tay, who was walking with family members. She then ran into a nearby nail salon and she passed out, according to witnesses. Tay later died at Lincoln Hospital.
The NYPD and Crime Stoppers offered a combined reward of up to $10,000 in the case. It was unclear if the arrests came from tips from the public.
