On December 15, 2025, a quiet morning ride turned into an unthinkable tragedy. Andreas “Andy” Probst, 64, a retired police chief known for decades of public service, was cycling when he became the target of a reckless and deliberate act of violence.

Jesus Ayala, 20, and Jzamir Keys, 18, later admitted to striking Probst during what authorities described as a stolen car spree. The two young men filmed their joyride — footage that revealed laughter and a chilling lack of remorse as they intentionally hit the retired chief. What they treated as a thrill cost a man his life.

Probst died from his injuries, leaving behind a grieving family, friends, and a community that once trusted him to protect theirs. After years devoted to public safety, his life ended on a roadway in an act that stunned the nation.

In court, the weight of that choice became clear. Ayala was sentenced to 20 years to life, and Keys to 18 years to life — consequences that reflect the irreversible damage caused in a matter of seconds.

Chief Probst’s death is more than a criminal case. It is a stark reminder of how recklessness, fueled by cruelty and indifference, can destroy families and futures in an instant. 🚴‍♂️🕊️

He is remembered not for the violence that ended his life, but for the years he spent serving others — a legacy far stronger than the act that took him away.
