Three Colorado teens are facing murder charges after they allegedly hurled a landscaping rock through a windshield of a moving car, killing a young woman just outside of Denver.

Alexa Bartell, 20, was driving late at night on April 19 when a rock was thrown through her windshield. She died from the blow of the rock and not the subsequent crash, investigators confirmed.

Her car was the last in a series of vehicles struck by the rocks over a 45-minute period that night – a string of vandalism Jefferson County investigators are calling a “rock spree homicide.” 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. Joseph Koenig, Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak, all 18, were taken into custody at their homes Tuesday and Wednesday, authorities said in a news release.
