LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - Las Vegas police and the Clark County
District Attorney said a second suspect was arrested in the death of
a former police officer who was killed in a hit-and-run crash on
Aug. 14.
Las Vegas teen accused of killing bicyclist may be tried as an adult
One suspect - the driver who in a now-viral video is shown hitting
Andreas Probst as he rode his bike near Tenaya Way and Centennial
Parkway - was arrested soon after the incident.
The second suspect was arrested mere hours before investigators
spoke on Tuesday afternoon.
Both juveniles are expected to be tried as adults, according to
District Attorney Steve Wolfson.
LVMPD said the two juveniles hit another man on a bicycle, then
sideswiped a car that was driving by before striking and killing
Probst.
Probst’s daughter, Taylor, said the family was devastated by the
senseless murder of her father, robbed of his life by individuals
who did not believe it mattered.
“We ask you please do not politicize his death or use it for culture
wars. He was a man of honor, with 35-plus years in law enforcement.
A little league dad, an honorary Girl Scouts member, a real-life
‘Pee-Wee Herman,’ a jokester, a prankster,” she said.
LVMPD added that when the crash first occurred, it was treated as a
fatal hit-and-run. In the days and weeks that followed, evidence
came out including the video of the event, captured on a cellphone
by the passenger.
A school resource officer was approached by a student at a school
and learned of the video. That’s when the homicide unit took over
the case, authorities said.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
