Authorities say the victim and other neighborhood children, ages 6 to 11, were riding their bikes and scooters outside when they asked Marin for a ride in his white 1996 Subaru Sambar truck on August 22.

During the ride, authorities say the 7-year-old leaned over the 11.5-inch sidewall, fell and struck her head on the pavement. She was then run over by the truck.
The child was rushed to the hospital where she later died.

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of this little girl, who died due to the defendant's complete disregard of the danger in allowing young children to ride in the open bed of a pick-up truck, especially a truck with such low sidewalls," said DA Kevin Steele.
No other children were physically injured.
Authorities say Marin also gave the neighborhood children rides on other occasions.
His preliminary hearing is set for September 19.
