One of two teenagers charged in the death of a retired police chief who they allegedly ran over as he was bicycling on a Las Vegas road has been found unfit to stand trial. Jesus Ayala, now 19, has been moved from jail to a secure Nevada psychiatric facility for evaluation, treatment, and possible trial if found competent, suspending criminal charges against him.
Ayala and Jzamir Keys, then 16, pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges in the death of Andreas “Andy” Probst, 64, a retired police chief. In the video of the hit-and-run, the driver asks, “Ready?” as the giggling passenger records the collision on his iPhone.
Probst was left injured on the side of the road and later died in the hospital. Ayala allegedly bragged about getting off easily, showing no remorse for the man’s death.
Keys was arrested days later after sharing the footage on Instagram. Ayala’s public defense attorney was reached out for comment.
