LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — A Sept. 16 trial has been set for two teens accused of intentionally running down a 64-year-old retired police chief while he was riding his bike.
Jesus Ayala, 18, and 16-year-old Jzamir Keys are both charged as adults and face numerous felony counts, including murder.
During a hearing Tuesday morning, both defendants could be seen smiling and laughing.
"These guys did not respect the court whatsoever," the victim's daughter, Taylor Probst said. "They were just dicking around the entire time."
Taylor and her mother, Crystal, expected a brief and simple hearing where both sides would settle on the trial schedule.

Instead, they say, this happened.
"They (the defendants) were flipping us off," Taylor said. "How can you sit there after taking a man's life and act like such an entitled p***k?"
The women said Ayala and Keys tried to intimidate them in court. Both teens are charged with murdering Andy Probst in August.
The case gained national attention when a video surfaced of Probst being intentionally run down as he rode his bicycle in northwest Las Vegas.
Ayala was calm while talking to a Las Vegas police officer about the case following his arrest.
The conversation was recorded by the officer's body-worn camera.
"Do you think I'm going to come out on the news?" asks Ayala.
"You might," answers the officer. "It won't be for anything good. It won't make your momma proud."
KSNV obtained that evidence in a public records request through Clark County.
But in court, Ayala's attorney said he didn't see it until it aired on the news.
"I don't know who is sending discovery to the media, I don't know if I need a press pass to get discovery," P. David Westbrook said. "I'm deeply disturbed the state is trying this case in the media."
This is a claim the Probst family strongly disputes.
"It was your people (Ayala and Keys) who put it in the media first," says Crystal Probst, the victim's widow. "Your clients are the ones that put that on social media. You opened the door, and I'm not going to allow the door to close."
On her wrist, Crystal Probst wears a damaged Apple watch.
It's the same watch her husband was wearing when he was hit.
The device sent out a 911 call and a text message to his children that there had been a hard fall.
Details the family does not want the public to forget as they await next year's trial.
"Did they (the defendants) say anything to you as they walked out of the courtroom?" KSNV asked.
"They didn't necessarily say anything, but they were snickering, laughing, trying to mad dog us and intimidate us, which didn't work," Taylor said.
