Video has emerged showing the recent hit-and-run death of a retired police chief in Las Vegas in what police are calling an intentional attack by the teenage driver.
Andreas Probst, 64, was fatally struck on August 14 while cycling in northwest Las Vegas, where he had retired after stepping down as the police chief of Bell, California, in 2009.
The 17-year-old driver, whose name was not released by police due to his age, was arrested soon after the crash and taken to the Juvenile Detention Center.
Late last month, police said charges against the driver would be upgraded to include an open murder count, after investigators discovered video indicating the driver intentionally struck Probst, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
On Saturday, video circulated widely on social media and drew outraged reactions, showing the driver ask 'ready?' and the passenger, who was filming, laughing as he replies 'yeah, hit his a**.'
A visual analysis of the video by DailyMail.com confirms that it shows the same location where Probst was killed, on a stretch of North Tenaya Way, near West Centennial Parkway.
There has been no word of charges against the passenger who filmed the fatal crash and seemingly encouraged the driver to go through with it.
A spokesperson for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Saturday.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, a clip of the video was shared by actor James Woods, who commented: 'They stole a car and murdered a perfectly innocent man for laughs. When will it end? And more importantly how will it end?'

I’ve read that some of those southeast LA county cities were incorporated strictly to be corrupt. Commerce, Industry, Vernon.
Depends on how you set them and what their capabilities are.
That’s about right.
There was an article posted earlier today of 2 white teenagers who beat their spanish teacher to death with a baseball bat apparantly because she gave them crappy grades.
Dark side of the spectrum. Very dark. Midnight dark.
IDIOTS had their phones with him when they whacked the guy. So it wasn’t very hard to simply figure out which phones were in the immediate area at the time of the hit, and then, look for Obama’s sons...
Yes. If the killers were not so obviously just typical brainless fools, I’d suspect organized crime.
The passenger encouraged it a filmed it. He deserves no mercy.
Stairs can be tricky, easy for even a yout to slip and fall and break his neck.
Yep...As soon as I read Bell, CA the other day, it set off a few of my sensors...But turns out not to be the case. This was just another senseless murder.
I didn’t know that.
Only two reasons for that.
1.) One of obama's sons
2.) An illegal
Most states will release the names of the perp if the perp is 16 or older unless there is a narrative the media wants to protect.
For example, here are a few releases from the local news here in Montgomeridishu:
"MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Montgomery police are charging a teen in the city’s latest homicide. Jakyeri McCovery, 17, has been charged in the death of Amaree’ Jackson, 22, according to Montgomery police."
"MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - A teen charged with capital murder is free after a judge granted him bail.
Jeremiah Walker, 17, of Montgomery, is accused of fatally shooting 37-year-old Thomas Hand Jr. in the 3100 block of Texas Street on Jan. 22. Court documents state Walker shot Hand in front of Hand’s 2-year-old child."
"MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - A teen and another man have been charged with murder in a weekend homicide investigation.
According to Montgomery police, Kendarius Streeter, 16, and Ja’Kaleb Spell, 20, both of Montgomery, are charged with capital murder in the shooting death of Gabriel Willis."
Bell, California?
Forgive me for NOT punning.
However, I recall there was MASSIVE corruption in a CA city named Bell.
I wonder if the victim of that hit and run was able to “retire” more easily because of some special arrangements.
Not saying anything bad about the deceased. But I am curious.
Tie them to the car and drag them
The passenger was recording video on his phone. Not dashcam. They did for social media and shits and giggles.
From their reaction, I don’t think they intended to kill the bicyclist. They wanted to knock him off the road and laugh at the ineffectual old geezer shaking his fists at them.
Like the young thugs that throw cinderblocks off overpasses. It’s fun to scare people and damage their property, ha ha.
Stupid and wicked is a bad combination, and stupid doesn’t mitigate the wicked.
Let them when they are old.
From Wikipedia City of Bell Scandal:
“If Rizzo wanted to get rid of you, he’d make some way to pay you off and make it beneficial for you financially”, said former Chief Andreas Probst, who was granted a $250,000 workers’ compensation settlement and an annual disability retirement of $158,057. Probst claimed his retirement was properly handled because he had suffered on-duty injuries in a crash with a drunk driver. But he said Rizzo bundled severance pay, and pay for unused sick and vacation days, owed to him, into the workers’ compensation settlement, which authorities said would violate the tax codes.
Seems like Probst should have been charged with disability and pension fraud but apparently, he was never charged or called as a witness.
but people living anywhere near them need to MOVE, especially women, since with the continued non enforcement by the cops, there is no protection...
:-)
“How do dashcams work? Do they start recording as soon as you start the car or start driving?”
Depends on how it’s set up
Mine is hard wired into my truck so it starts to record as soon as the doors unlock.
“These murderers should never see the light of day ever again. They should spend 23 hours a day in solitary until they die.”
Summary execution behind the courthouse.... Cheaper for the taxpayers that way.
