A white tarp was seen inside the vehicle and several bullet markers were placed on it.
Two other cars were towed. NBC6 was told they are believed to be involved in the incident.
Officials said they believe there were multiple shooters involved.
"The preliminary information has indicated that several shooters approached the vehicle and shot into the vehicle striking all three victims,” said a deputy.
Susy Jeanjacket told NBC6 she was at work when her daughter called her.
"She tells me, “Mom, something is happening outside because I hear a lot of noise coming from outside,'" she said. "So I told her to go to sleep, and she went to bed."
Jeanjacket says she is scared.
"I always wait for someone to pick me up or an Uber to take me to work at 11:30 at night but now I'm scared," she said.
MDSO has not released the woman's name or the names of the injured children.
A description of the suspect or suspects has not been disclosed.
"This is senseless. There is no reason, no excuse, no justification as to why this has to take place," said a deputy. "Our detectives are going to work day and night and we will find out who these individuals are and we are going to make sure that they are arrested, charged, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
