APD previously arrested 13-year-old Johnathan Overbay, 15-year-old William Garcia, and 11-year-old Messiah Hayes in the case. Investigators said the teens took a video that shows them laughing and talking about bumping Habermehl in the bike lane. Police said the video shows the crash was intentional. “Just bump him. Bump him? Yeah, just bump him. Go like 15,20,” said the back passenger and driver in the video. Police believe Overbay was driving while Garcia was in the back seat. The video shows Hayes in the passenger seat waving a gun and laughing. Habermehl, died from his injuries after being hit.

Detectives interviewed Engelking about the crash in March, and say he denied being in the car at the time of the crash. APD says several people told detectives they recognized the sound of his voice when the video was posted on social media. Detectives determined Engelking also shared details about the crash and the investigation with friends through social media conversations.
