Unexpectedly, 18-year-old Jesus Ayala, who was already accused of killing 66-year-old cyclist Andreas Probst in a hit-and-run, is now facing yet another grave charge. Ayala, who is allegedly a member of the criminal group Night Crawlers, is in the news once more. This time, he is accused of trying to kill someone with a lethal weapon in connection with a stabbing that happened in June.
Details of a Harrowing Encounter
The disturbing turn of events unfolded last year when a victim, after being taken to the University Medical Center, revealed the details of a harrowing encounter. The victim described being outside their residence, only to be accused of theft by a passing teenager.
What ensued was a brutal attack involving a group of teenagers, leaving the victim with multiple injuries, including stabbing wounds to the face and back. A witness to the assault described it as extremely violent, indicating the potential for a fatal outcome had it persisted longer.
As the investigation unfolded, reports emerged of a group of teenagers attempting to steal a vehicle near the site of the stabbing.

In the wake of these disturbing developments, Ayala’s alleged affiliation with the Night Crawlers criminal gang has come to the forefront. Authorities are now delving into the possible connection between Ayala’s criminal activities and the gang’s influence in the community.
As Ayala faces the weight of both charges, the legal proceedings ahead are poised to be complex and intense. The community, still reeling from the initial hit-and-run tragedy, now grapples with the unsettling revelation of an additional attempted murder charge against the accused teenager.
