Las Vegas cops previously detained the 17-year-old driver accused of killing Andreas Probst, 64, on August 14, and now they have arrested his accomplice too.

Both boys have been charged with murder and
will be tried as adults after they targeted Probst as he was cycling down a northwest Vegas highway at around 6am on August 14.
Police said they also tied the teens to at least three hit-and-run incidents the same day. They believe the slaying of Probst, a former police chief in Bell,
California, ended the spree.
According to police, the crime spree began at around 5.30am when the teenagers allegedly struck a 72-year-old bicyclist before driving off and crashing into a Toyota Corolla.
The driver wasn't injured in the crash, police said, although they didn't detail what injuries, if any, the bicyclist suffered.
Seconds after striking the Toyota, the teenagers drove into Probst as he rode his bicycle in a designated bike lane, police said.
They took off while laughing, said Deputy Police Chief Nick Farese, 'leaving him for dead on the side of a road.'
