SUMMARY
Jesus Ayala, a Nevada teen charged in the 2023 death of retired police chief Andreas Probst, has been found unfit to stand trial and transferred to a psychiatric facility for evaluation and treatment. Ayala, now 19, and his accomplice, Jzamir Keys, then 16, were charged with murder and other offenses after allegedly striking Probst with a stolen car while he was riding his bicycle in Las Vegas. The shocking incident, captured on video, shows the teens intentionally targeting Probst, with one of them filming the act and mocking the victim afterward.
