Manuel Jesus Hernandez Manuel Hernandez, 24, of Lewisville and Raul Hernandez, 26, of Mesquite were arrested after a car chase Monday evening by officers responding to a shooting at the park.
There are also immigration holds on both men. It was unclear whether they are related.
During the chase, a video camera in one of the squad cars captured what appears to be a gun being thrown from the suspects' car, police spokesman Joe Harn said. Police eventually stopped the car, a maroon Chevrolet Tahoe, at Duck Creek and Oates drives in Garland.
The victim, 21-year-old Rex Allen Kieke of Dallas, was pronounced dead at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas.

Police searched the area where they believe the weapon was tossed – northbound on Broadway Boulevard just north of the I-30 service road in Garland – but were unable to find it.
Officer Harn said they believe someone might have found the gun and not realized its significance.
