The Vegas teens who callously mowed down a biking retired police chief in 2023 were sentenced up to life in prison.
Both teens will be eligible for parole in the mid 2040s, according to 8NewsNow.
As previously reported, Jesus Ayala, who just turned 18, is facing murder charges after he fatally struck 64-year-old retired police chief Andreas Probst. On August 14th, 2023 two teens allegedly stole a Hyundai, took the vehicle on a hit-and-run crime spree, and recorded it with a phone.
On August 29th, Las Vegas Police Detectives found the phone recording on social media and determined it was intentional.
A video posted to social media shows the phone recording from inside the stolen car as Ayala, who was 17 at the time, intentionally commits a hit-and-run. Ayala shouts expletives out the window after he randomly hits a car. After the hit-and-run, Ayala and Keys saw a bicyclist up ahead and went for it.
Ayala intentionally swerved the car and hit the bicyclist. 64-year-old Andreas Probst was hit at a high speed and flew over the car. The impact broke the windshield. “Hit his ass,” the teens said before Probst slammed into the windshield.
Jesus Ayala sped off and left the crash scene. Probst was taken to a nearby hospital and was pronounced dead.
Jesus Ayala was hit with 18 charges including murder, grand larceny, battery with use of a deadly weapon and attempted murder.
Ayala’s passenger, Jzamir Keys, (who was 16 at the time) was hit with 3 charges, including a murder charge.
The teens were previously seen in court smirking and laughing.
Excerpt from 8NewNow:
A Clark County District Court judge sentenced two young men Tuesday to decades in prison after they killed a retired police chief in a deadly crime spree.
Jesus Ayala, 20; and Jzamir Keys, 18, appeared to intentionally mow down two bicyclists in the northwest Las Vegas valley in August 2023. Retired California police chief Andreas “Andy” Probst, 64, died when Ayala and Keys intentionally collided with him. Another bicyclist, a man in his 70s, survived.
Ayala’s defense team and prosecutors agreed to a sentence of 20 years to life, as outlined in the plea agreement. The plea agreement for Keys specified a prison term of 18 years to life.
On Tuesday, Clark County District Court Judge Jacqueline Bluth sentenced the young men to the terms of the agreements.
“This was so much more than a joyride,” Bluth said. “It just kept going and going and escalating and escalating, and more people kept getting hurt.”
I suspect these two thought the legal system would go easy on them because they’re juveniles......now they get to sit in a cage and think about.....I hope they enjoy the food.
Also, this idiocy is why I sold my road bike and now stick to riding the sidewalks.
Not enough. A life for a life.
It’s gotten real bad around here.
At least once a month there’s a motorcyclist killed in an accident.
Last week it was a dump truck pulled out in front of one and he was killed instantly.................
It’s always them.
Black violent crime is off the charts.
Behave accordingly.
20 years to life is not life.
I didn’t read anything about minimum of 20 without parole eother.
They killed a cop so the other inmates will treat them like Royalty. Free cigs, extra tapioca, you name it
Convictions:
Violent Crime: 2.6 Black / 1.0 White
Murder: 6.4 Black / 1.0 White
Robbery: 7.1 Black / 1.0 White
Aggravated Assault: 2.1 Black / 1.0 White
The world seems to be getting crazier but I go out and it seems fairly normal in my little corner. Maybe we just hear and see more stuff these days than we used to. I’m not sure. Maybe more crazy but we also are aware of more than we did in the past.
Harvest their organs and feed the leftovers to the hogs. Then sterilize their parents.
I don’t know about Nevada, but don’t most states have a Parole Board that determines if the convict is worthy of parole?
Since these two killed a retired cop, I would bet that the PB will not look kindly upon them the first few meetings.............
“Since these two killed a retired cop, I would bet that the PB will not look kindly upon them the first few meetings.”
It depends on who ‘they’ get on the parole board.
Bikers are always one left turn away from meeting Jesus.
I haven’t ridden in almost 4 years.
Been trying to sell it.
Riding alone is just depressing.
“The world seems to be getting crazier but I go out and it seems fairly normal in my little corner. Maybe we just hear and see more stuff these days than we used to.”
I remember when we went out during covid lockdown. We were expecting to see bodies in the streets, but all we saw were a few equally confused people. We don’t hate the media nearly as much as we should!
Are they still laughing? Being a teen and not getting out until you’re in your late 30’s will wipe the smile off their faces.
They’re young backsides will be traded for those things.
Simple and uncomplicated so even the lowest intellect and the least humane will GET IT!
There will be hell to pay, to de program that!
and those are classifying some Hispanic crimes as white.
As far as I’m concerned, at the end of the day this is just another black/brown an white crime.
