CAG Thrift Shop & Food Pantry

That included an attack in which they hurled a cannonball-size rock at another woman driving along Colorado 93, prosecutors said in court Wednesday morning. After the rock struck the driver’s side window, glass shattered into her eyes, injured her head and neck, ripped a hole through her car’s leather seat and broke the rear window of the car. The woman slammed on her brakes in the middle of the highway.

Bartell was the last person struck. Prosecutors said Koenig was driving 80 mph on Indiana Street when the teens launched the rock at Bartell’s yellow Chevy Spark as she was talking on the phone with a friend. The rock smashed through her front windshield and struck her in her head.

Alexa Bartell’s family pleaded for the judge not to grant bond.

Kelly Bartell, Alexa’s mother, stood at the dais recounting the “terrifying” five-minute drive to the field where Alexa’s body was found next to her car, which had run off the road and into a field after the rock flew through her windshield and hit her only child in the head.

“I wake up every day reliving this nightmare over and over. I will never be able to hug my baby, to hold her, to laugh with her and to watch her live her life with all the experiences that she will never be able to have. That was taken from me by these three individuals who chose to kill my daughter by throwing a rock through her windshield,” Kelly Bartell said, her voice quavering.

Greg Bartell, Alexa’s father, told the judge several of his family members are afraid to drive, fearing something similar could happen to them. He called the defendants a danger to the community.

“Our fear as a family is with the release of these gentlemen, that may happen to another innocent individual. While these men are contemplating the thought of freedom our family is plagued with the forever loss of our loved one,” said Greg Bartell, who attended the hearing virtually.

When setting bond and weighing flight risk, Zenisek considered the three teens’ age, lack of criminal histories and family support.

Defense attorneys for the three men argued that bond be set much lower, arguing that they are not at flight risk and that their families will help bring them to court for future hearings.

Koenig, Karol-Chik and Kwakeach face 13 charges, which include one count of first-degree murder with extreme indifference, six counts of attempted first-degree murder, three counts of seconddegree assault and three counts of attempted second-degree assault, court documents show.

The extreme indifference charges allege the men knowingly created a “grave risk of death,” without caring who was injured or killed, resulting in Bartell’s death.

An attorney for Karol-Chik said Wednesday “potentially more serious charges” could be filed.

During interviews with police following their arrests, Karol-Chik and Kwak each accused the other of throwing the rock that killed Bartell. Koenig refused to be interviewed by police.

After the rock smashed through Bartell’s window and killed her,the men returned to the crash site to take a picture of the carto serve as a memento, they told investigators.

Police say the men hit six other cars and two other drivers were injured.

A preliminary hearing was rescheduled for Sept. 8.
