Authorities said both guns were determined to be illegally possessed.
The juvenile was arrested on suspicion of being a gang member in possession of an unregistered firearm, a minor in possession of a loaded firearm and possession of an unregistered firearm.
He was booked into the Juvenile Hall in Indio. The name of the suspect was withheld due to his age.
