3 arrested for 1st-degree murder in rock-throwing incidents that killed driver
All three 18-year-olds are suspected of throwing large rocks at cars.
Three suspects have been arrested for allegedly throwing large landscaping rocks toward at least seven cars on Colorado roads last week, authorities said. The last of the seven incidents claimed the life of 20-year-old driver Alexa Bartell.
The suspects, all 18-year-old high school seniors, were taken into custody at their parents' homes in Arvada overnight and are all facing charges of first-degree murder, with extreme indifference, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday morning. Additional charges are expected, authorities said.
It's not clear which suspect or suspects -- identified as Joseph Koenig, Nicholas "Mitch" Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak -- were driving during the spree, but all three are suspected of throwing rocks, authorities said. It appears they threw the rocks while driving, authorities said.
Around 10:45 p.m. on April 19, Bartell was driving when someone threw a large rock through her windshield, hitting and killing her, the sheriff's office said.
In the hour before Bartell was killed, six other cars in the area had rocks thrown at them, according to the sheriff's office. In two of those incidents, the drivers suffered minor injuries.
Nathan Tipton, a Lyft and Uber driver, was one of the four uninjured victims.
"When I found out that this series of events actually took a young lady's life, I feel for Alexa and her family. It put me in a bit of a shock. My wife, it really got to her," he told reporters on Tuesday.
"Nobody should lose their child for a random act. ... It's heartbreaking," said Tipton, a dad of three.
The sheriff's office said phone forensics and information from the public helped lead to the arrests.
The suspects are expected to make their first court appearance on Thursday, sheriff's officials said.

it's better to suck dink than to be killed
"My outer appearance was poor, but in this way my inner world became richer than anyone else's. Was it not natural that a young boy who suffered from an indelible drawback like mine should have come to think that he was a secretly chosen being? I felt as though somewhere in this world a mission awaited me of which I myself still knew nothing." --Yukio Mishima

You still get access to video games, thots write letters to you, you can get conjugal visits, and so on.Hopefully they get life. And a booty bandit cell mate. Daily rapes, turn them all into prison bitches.
I don't understand the youth these days. How could they think this was fun or entertaining? Anytime I read these stories coming from the under 25 crowd, I wonder to myself wtf was their upbringings like? But I'm starting to realize that even if kids were reared in good homes and had both parents in the household, they still become social misfits and psychopaths.
I'm sorry for the young woman who died, but I am glad the rock didn't hit a baby, toddler, and child.

Fukc these scumbags. I'd say chop off all their fingers and let them bleed out slowly. We've had similar incidents in my city every year that lead to major injuries or death and yet these punks think it's a funny prank. Some people don't belong in society.

I'd be fine with life, but would prefer the death penalty.
