Social media videos, chats lead police to 2nd suspect, documents say

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained reveal how Las Vegas police tracked down two teenagers accused of intentionally hitting and killing a bicyclist and recording it on video.

Both Jesus Ayala, 18; and Jzamir Keys, 16, are accused of killing Andreas “Andy” Probst, 64, a retired California police chief. Probst was riding a bicycle in a marked lane on Aug. 14 near Tenaya Way and Centennial Parkway in the northwest Las Vegas valley when Ayala intentionally crashed into him, documents said.

The now-viral video of the incident circulated within several Las Vegas high schools in the weeks after the murder, according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained. It was not until a student approached a school resource officer in late August that Metro police learned the act appeared intentional, documents said.

About a half-hour before Probst’s murder, the teenagers allegedly attempted to hit another bicyclist in the area of Fort Apache and Washburn roads, police said. In the hours after Probst’s death, the teenagers allegedly stole two more cars in the area of Lake Mead Boulevard and Torrey Pines Drive, sources said.

About an hour after allegedly hitting and killing Probst, the teenagers took the two stolen cars and crashed them into each other near a shopping plaza at Lake Mead and Rainbow boulevards, sources said. The teenagers then allegedly broke into a garage where they took several items, and returned to the area where Probst was hit and killed in one of the two-crashed stolen cars.

Pre-meditated murder. How is this anyt different from the Las Vegas or Buffalo supermarket shooters?

These two teens are among the many who have never been disciplined at home in the schools. Now they will go off to the ‘big house’ where Bubba will teach them the inmate code of conduct.

Thank God they found the kids AFTER the event. Good to know they can find the DEAD VICTIMS AFTER they are killed. Anyone feel better now? Wait til they kill one of yours.

I say put the killers on a bike and drive a car into THEM. Do to them what they did to others. We will stop this if we do to the criminal what they did to the victim. Body for a body.

I don't think they posted it. It was found on his phone after the arrest.

In fact, if I remember correctly, he was being arrested for a different crime. Probably auto theft.

Never mind, you were right. I was pulling from memory of an earlier article. Then I read this one after I commented. Apologies.

Don’t wreck a car getting rid of them. A sharpened stake ala Vlad Teppes would be quite effective and much cheaper. It might “send a message” as politicians are always talking about if it were on pay per view.

In a sane country both of these fellows would be facing a rope in less than 6 months. Let them out of prison sometime before they are dead or senile and more people will be murdered, more property stolen and destroyed. Nowadays it is 50-50 they will be back on the street in a couple of weeks.
They think they will be turned loose because they hear of so many others that are just turned loose on a promise or maybe not even that. Why not th

I believe in having the punishment fit the crime: Tie the wimps to the front of a pick up truck, facing forward. Aim the truck at a brick wall, put a heavy brick on the accelerator and let ‘er fly...live-streaming the looks on their faces over Facebook.

Jzamir Keyes is remarkably stupid. Jesus Ayala had already been arrested and identified for the second crash with the second set of stolen cars very near where the bicyclist was murdered.

Keyes lets a few days go by, decides he’s gotten away with murder and posts video to enhance his social standing.

Stupid people kill for the shortest-lived of gratifications, and throw away their own lives too most of the time.

Here’s hoping the two of them have not fathered any children.

After the fair trial, now.

Be sure to always say after the fair trial.
