The event was allegedly captured on video by the accused individuals. Authorities have linked the two teenagers, who were 17 and 16 years old at the time of the incident, to a series of at least three hit-and-run episodes on the morning of August 14. The indictment builds upon earlier charges that were already leveled against the accused individuals. The Big Big News has chosen to withhold the names of the adolescents due to their age at the time of the purported criminal activities. Inquiries directed to the defendants’ legal representatives, P. David Westbrook and Daniel Hill, were not responded to as of late Friday. The purported hit-and-run events involve a crash that resulted in the death of Andreas “Andy” Probst, a 64-year-old retiree and former police chief from the city of Bell, located outside of Los Angeles. Probst was cycling on the side of a road when he was struck by a vehicle. Footage, purportedly captured from the front passenger seat of a stolen vehicle, depicts the car approaching Probst from behind on a virtually empty road. Audible male laughter is heard as the car intentionally veers towards Probst, making contact with his bicycle. Probst is seen being hurled backward across the vehicle’s hood, colliding with the windshield, before being seen lying next to the curb. In addition to charges of murder, the indictment also includes charges of battery, attempted murder, residential burglary, as well as multiple counts of grand larceny of an automobile and possession of a stolen vehicle against the two teenagers. The younger of the two adolescents faces an additional indictment for possession of tools commonly used for burglary. According to Nevada statutes, the harshest sentence the accused could receive, if found guilty of the murder charge, ranges from 20 years to life imprisonment in a state facility. The death penalty is not applicable due to the defendants not having reached the age of 18 at the time of the alleged offenses, although one has since turned 18. Both accused individuals are currently detained, with bail being denied. Stern serves as a corps member for The Big Big News as part of the Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.
