Two Las Vegas teenagers who deliberately mowed down a cyclist in a hit-and-run that killed a retired police chief were sentenced on Tuesday to decades behind bars, bringing a grim conclusion to a case that drew national outrage for its sheer brutality and the defendants' chilling courtroom demeanour.
Jesus Ayala, now 20, and Jzamir Keys, now 18, were juveniles when they used a stolen car to strike and kill 64-year-old Andreas Probst as he rode his bicycle through a Las Vegas neighbourhood. Probst was a former police chief from Bell, California.
