Three teenage boys appeared in court Wednesday accused of killing a 20 year-old woman by hurling a rock through the windshield of her car, Your Content has learned.
Two other drivers suffered minor injuries in the incident, investigators say.
Nicholas ‘Mitch’ Karol-Chik, Joseph Koenig and Zachary Kwak, all 18, faced a judge in Jefferson County, Colorado, over the April 19 murder of Alexa Bartell, 20.
The trio have already been charged with crimes including first-degree murder – and now face additional counts of assault and attempted assault.
Those charges relate to other incidents of rocks being hurled at cars which prosecutors say they were responsible for too.
Karol-Chik, Koenig and Kwak sat next to each other in the dock – the first time they’ve seen each other since being arrested over the killing of Alexa, which saw a huge rock hurled through the windshield of her yellow Chevy Spark.
Former Denver prosecutor Craig Silverman was in court to watch proceedings, and suggested the case could well go to a full trial,‘according to PEOPLE.
