A 20-year-old woman was killed when a large rock was thrown at her vehicle in Colorado.
Police in Colorado are warning drivers after a woman was killed by a large rock that was thrown at her vehicle as she was driving.Alexa Bartell spoke to a friend over the phone while driving Wednesday night when the line suddenly dropped.
An impromptu memorial site near the site of the homicide grew on Friday, with friends and family remembering Bartell. Law enforcement initially believed the incidents were associated with a 2003-2005 Dodge Ram pickup truck and asked the public to help identify its owners. However, investigators later confirmed the owner of the car was not "involved in the crime series related to the death of Alexa Bartell," leaving no suspects.
At 10:26 p.m. nearly nine miles from the first incident, the suspect or suspects threw another rock through a windshield in Arvada, CO, injuring the driver. An earlier timeline released by the Sheriff's office stretched the incidents out over more than two hours Wednesday evening; the revised timeline narrows the crime spree to a 40-minute window across multiple miles. Investigators are still working to determine if the suspect or suspects threw the rocks from the side of the road or a vehicle.
