Prosecutors Seek to Charge Teenager as Adult in Hit-and-Run Death of a Retired Police Chief in Las Vegas

Las Vegas prosecutors are seeking to charge the teen driver accused of killing a retired police chief on a bike in a hit-and-run last month, as an adult.

A 17-year-old male driver has been in custody since the Aug. 14 crash that killed 64-year-old Andreas Probst as he was biking in the area of Tenaya Way and Centennial Parkway, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said.

At first, the teenager, found in a stolen 2016 Hyundai, was charged in connection with the hit and run. Open murder charges were added later after police found social media video of the collision, which led them to determine the crash was “an intentional act.”
