The suspects — Joseph Koenig, Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak, all 18-year-old high school seniors — were taken into custody at their parents’ homes in Arvada, Colo., the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday. All three are facing charges of first-degree murder.
According to police, six motorists in the greater Denver area reported on the evening of April 19 that rocks had been thrown at their cars. Two of the drivers suffered minor injuries.
Around 10:45 p.m., Bartell was driving along a road in Jefferson County when a large rock went through her front windshield, hitting and killing her.
A friend who was on the phone with her at around that time became concerned when the line dropped. The friend tracked her phone to a field, where Bartell was found.
The sheriff’s office said “mobile device forensics” and information from the public helped lead to the arrests.
It’s unclear which of the suspects threw the rock that killed Bartell, the sheriff’s office added, but all three are suspected of throwing rocks during the hourlong spree.
