Three men were arrested after allegedly hurling a landscaping rock at a Colorado woman, killing her as she drove just outside of Denver, authorities said Wednesday.

Alexa Bartell, 20, "was killed when a rock was thrown through her windshield as she was driving" north in the 10600 block of Indiana Street at about 10:45 p.m. in Westminster on April 19, according to a statement from Jefferson County Sheriff's investigators.

Bartell was the last of several cars "struck by large landscaping rocks in a spree that began shortly after" 10 p.m. that night near 100th Avenue and Simms Street in Westminster, officials said.

Joseph Koenig, Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak, all 18, were taken into custody at their homes in Arvada, according to the sheriffs statement.

The suspects were traveling in a black 2016 Chevy Silverado that night, though it wasn't immediately clear who was driving or threw the rock that killed Bartell, officials said.

"All three are suspected of throwing rocks and all three are currently facing charges of" first-degree murder by extreme indifference, according to the sheriff.

If they tossed them over a bridge, either hang them from it, or toss them over and let them try to heal without medical attention.

Well, you knew they weren’t black, because if they were they would be referred to as “three teens”

Never understood this “prank” even when it was happening in my younger days

Disgusting. I feel so sorry for her and her loved ones. No one should have to deal with a situation like this.

In a just society they would hang but at least I hope they spend many years in prison.

On a side note, violence is violence, if they had used a gun we would be getting lectures about “gun violence”, but they used a dam rock instead.

America has to go back to public hangings. We’re being overrun with feral bastards.

“First degree murder by extreme indifference” - sounds like a charge that should be filed against a very long list of elected leaders and government officials in sanctuary states/cities.

These criminal jagoffs are old enough to know better. She’s dead and now they should forfeit the rest of their lives to a jail cell

Could anyone do this? and do it over and over again in one evening, without being aware that they might likely kill someone?

I was reminded of the 1978 Cheech and Chong movie scene and song ‘Rock Fight’ but this was not a “fight”, it was as if they were laying in wait to ambush strangers. I wonder, was it from overpasses or while both driving opposite directions to double the impact speed? I didn’t see that in the article(s). Sad.

Hardly a story!

I learned long ago from Yahoo News’ reports on Israel that rock throwers are harmless freedom fighters.

They were throwing landscape rocks from a moving car or throwing from the road. Poor girl ended up in a ditch and died alone.

I'd strike a deal with Iran, they can develop nuclear power, but they have to take our ferals and punish them.

Double tap all three in the head. Case closed. Let the girl’s dad and bros do the deed.
