A motive for the shooting has not been determined and no suspects have been identified, the CHP said.
The agency asked for anyone with information on the shooting to reach out to detectives.
A witness told KTVU-TV she saw the right side of the car riddled with bullets and found the child on the sidewalk with at least one gunshot to his hip.
