Police said Irene Enriquez and Joshua Benavidez were taken into custody and confessed Wednesday.
The attack happened on July 11. Police said fireworks were thrown at a homeless Native American man while he slept on a sidewalk...
"I feel really bad for the man and his family," Enriquez said during a perp walk. "We're sorry."
Investigators released video of the incident Monday. In it, a purple SUV pulls up to the curb and stops for a few seconds. When it pulls away, flames can be seen as the man's clothing catches fire.
Neighbors told police they'd seen the distinct purple SUV around Benavidez's home, and that it had suddenly been painted white..
Young children were inside the SUV at the time of the fireworks incident...
Benavidez and Enriquez face a number of charges, including aggravated battery and three counts of child abuse.
