Rock-Throwing Suspects Took Memento From Fatal Crash, Cops Say
Three teenagers accused of hurling huge rocks at passing cars and killing a 20-year-old woman last week allegedly took a photo of the crash scene as a memento.
That’s according to an affidavit from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office cited by The Denver Post on Thursday. The suspects—Joseph Koenig, Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik, and Zachary Kwak, all aged 18—face charges of first-degree murder with extreme indifference for the alleged rock-throwing spree last week.
Alexa Bartell’s vehicle was the last one to be hit on a road outside of Denver by what police described as a “large landscaping” rock on April 19. She was speaking to a friend on the phone at the time of the incident, police said, and her friend was the one who discovered her body.
