Two Men Sentenced to Decades or Life for Murdering Retired Police Chief Andreas Probst




On August 14, 2023, 17-year-old Jesus Ayala drove a stolen Hyundai Elantra into 64-year-old retired Bell Police Chief Andreas Probst near North Tenaya Way and Centennial Parkway, while 16-year-old passenger Jzamir Keys filmed and cheered. A Clark County judge sentenced Ayala to 20 years to life plus 2-10 years for battery, and Keys to 18 years to life on Tuesday, matching their October plea deals—the maximum under Nevada law for juveniles. The attack ended a spree where they stole cars and hit other bicyclists and a driver; Probst's family shared tearful memories of lost traditions, weddings, and grandchildren in court.
