20-year-old Alexa Bartell was killed this week in Colorado after a person threw a rock through her window as she was driving.
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. — Deputies in Jefferson County have found a vehicle they suspect is involved in a young woman's death after a large rock was thrown at her car Wednesday night, which they say is part of similar attacks that have occurred over the past day across the Denver metro.
Deputies said Bartell was on her phone talking to a friend when the phone went silent. That friend then tracked her phone and drove to the location on Indiana Street. She found her dead inside her car, which was off the roadway in the field, deputies said in a news release.
