Good Morning, Las Vegas: Community reflects on deadly Australia attack during Hanukkah

KTNV — Good Morning, Las Vegas.

After the tragic events in Australia over the weekend, we followed up with members of our local community of how they are marking Hanukkah this year in light of that attack.

We're also looking ahead to developments we expect today in cases we've been covering, including two teens who are set to be sentenced for murder.

But before we get to that, Justin Bruce has a look at our forecast today, with the expectation for a sixth day in a row with highs in the 70s:

Following up: Teens face sentencing in murder of retired police chief

Following up on a story we've been covering for more than two years now, two teenagers who killed a retired police chief in a deadly crime spree are scheduled to be sentenced today.

Jzamir Keys and Jesus Ayala pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for intentionally running down the bicyclist with a stolen car.

Retired California police chief Andreas Probst died in the August 2023 attack, which the teens recorded and posted video of on social media.

Keyes faces 18 years to life in prison. Ayala faces 20 years to life.

Because they were juveniles when the crimes happened, Nevada law requires parole eligibility after 20 years.

The sentencing hearing is set for 9:30 a.m.
