Two teenage boys believed to be behind the sick hit-and-run homicide of a retired police chief in Las Vegas have been named as they are charged as adults.

Jesus Ayala, 17, and Jzamir Keys, 16, are suspected of intentionally striking Andreas Probst, 64, while he was riding his bicycle down an empty highway in the northwest of the city at around 6am on August 14.

Ayala was arrested the same day accused of being the motorist behind the wheel of the 2016 Hyundai Elantra which hit the retired cop.

Meanwhile Keys, who was detained this week following a police appeal for information, is believed to be the passenger who goaded the attack and filmed a sick video.

The duo were transferred to the Clark County Detention Center on Wednesday and they will face charges of murder with a deadly weapon, battery and attempted murder in Las Vegas Justice Court, according to local reports.

They appeared in separate hearings on Wednesday morning in Family Court, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal. DailyMail.com has contacted police and the attorney's office for confirmation and for photo identification of the suspects.

Two of Keys' relatives cried during his first appearance in court in front of Hearing Master Timothy Andrews.

One of Ayala's female relatives also attended his appearance before Hearing Master Randall Forman and used the assistance of a translator.

She shielded her face and held back tears as she walked past reporters outside the courtroom afterwards, according to the Journal.

Actually, communal stoning was the normal method in capital punishment in the Bible, which better corresponds to the crime being one against the whole community (even if indirectly), and not simply an individual, in addition to impressing upon the public the gravity of the crime and its consequences (as well as perhaps deterring false testimony), while providing a better sense of justice to the victims than having the state do the dirty work via antiseptic means inside a building.

Yet while there is breath in their bodies, may the murderers (and all) come to repentance and faith in the present savior and future judge of mankind, the risen Lord Jesus, who gave Himself for us, that we may spiritually live thru Him, Thanks be to God.

I’m 69 and stopped riding bikes a long time ago. But if I did, it would be on a bike path in a park. There’s way too many crazy facks driving on the highways.

Correct you are!

News copy can be very irritating in this new world, since news outlets, whether print (dying) or broadcast have time, space or money for Copy Editors. Now most if not all stories we read are self edited.
As we are all, oh so aware self editing ain’t easy.

[Tupelo]

Dammit, as if to prove my point.
“whether print (dying) or broadcast have time, space or money for Copy Editors.”
Should be: NEITHER print (dying) or broadcast have time, space or money for Copy Editors.

For this crime, I suggest the perps become contestants on The Running Man.

News copy can be very irritating in this new world, since news outlets, whether print (dying) or broadcast, have little time, space or money for Copy Editors. Now most if not all stories we read are self-edited. As we are all, oh so aware, self-editing ain’t easy.

True, that!

But sometimes you must bike to a bike path, at least I do here.

Wish we had made more room for bicycles as it would promote health and save money.

And tick off even MORE motorists who have to look out for those who do NOT think that ALL the traffic laws apply to them.
