Two Teens Sentenced in 2023 Murder of Retired Police Chief Andreas Probst.
In August 2023, 17-year-old Jesus Ayala and 16-year-old Jzamir Keys targeted cyclists during a reckless crime spree, stealing cars and fatally injuring Probst with a stolen Hyundai Elantra. A Clark County judge sentenced Ayala to 20 years to life and Keys to 18 years to life on Tuesday, matching their plea deals for second-degree murder. Probst's wife Crystal shared their lasting heartbreak in court, while the family pursues a wrongful death lawsuit against the pair and Hyundai over the car's alleged theft vulnerability. The case underscores risks to cyclists and questions around youth sentencing.
