Las Vegas prosecutors said Monday they are looking to bring adult murder charges against a teen driver, just days after video surfaced of the accused juvenile motorist and his passenger laughing gleefully as they mowed down a cyclist.
The deadly crash happened on Aug. 14. The brazen nature of the crime was revealed by the passenger’s 50-second video clip that went viral over the weekend.
The driver then sped behind Probst and struck the cyclist, sending the victim tumbling over the roof of the car before he landed on the pavement. “That’s pretty disgusting,” criminologist Dr. Scott Bonn told the Las Vegas Review-Journal after watching the video. He said he agreed with the district attorney’s decision to pursue adult charges against the boy because “this is a particularly heinous act.”“He was an amazing man, a husband…a father, a brother,” Andreas’s wife Crystal Probst said at a Ghost Bike Memorial ceremony earlier this month.
