Two Las Vegas teens accused of intentionally and fatally hitting a bicyclist were in the middle of a two-hour crime spree when they killed the retired police officer, according to a report.
Accused driver Jesus Ayala, 18, and Jzamir Keys, 16, allegedly stole three vehicles, committed a robbery and also attempted to kill another cyclist, KLAS reported, citing sources and public records.
The couple faces murder charges in the death of Andreas “Andy” Probst, 64, a former California police chief who was riding a bicycle in a marked lane in northwest Las Vegas last month when Ayala intentionally struck him with a automobile, authorities maintain.
The vehicle had been stolen.

Probst’s death on Aug. 14 was initially classified as a hit-and-run until police were alerted to video of the killing.
About half an hour before Probst’s murder, the pair allegedly tried to hit another motorcyclist and stole two more cars, which then crashed into each other near a shopping plaza, KLAS reported.
Sources told the station that the two young suspects also broke into a garage and stole several items.
