At the time, the agency said it made contact with the man associated with the truck that hit the child but had not made any arrests.

The child was later identified as Ailahni, who according to her father, Sandro Sanchez, was enjoying tacos made by her godmother just before she was hit by the truck.

“She’s always been a happy baby,” Sanchez said. “We give her all the love we can. So, I know she left happy.”

Following the incident, Yolo County District Attorney Jeff Reisig said Ailahni’s death was tragic and that his office would be reviewing everything, including surveillance video from the gas station near where she was struck.

Ailahni would have celebrated her 3rd birthday on Monday, her family said.
