A second defendant charged in the 2023 killing of a retired police officer is expected to plead guilty on Tuesday.

Prosecutors have alleged that Jzamir Keys, 18, and co-defendant Jesus Ayala , 20, deliberately struck 66-year-old Andreas Probst with a vehicle, resulting in the man’s death. Probst was riding his bicycle near Centennial Parkway at the time of the Aug. 14, 2023, hit-and-run crash.

Authorities have said that Keys recorded a video of the teens laughing and plotting to hit Probst, who was a retired police chief from Bell, California.

A week earlier, Ayala pleaded guilty to second-degree murder , which carries a prison sentence of 20 years to life.
