DENVER — A 20-year-old woman was killed when unknown suspects hurled a large rock at her car and it crashed through the windshield, hitting her. This happened during an overnight crime spree where assailants also threw rocks into at least four other vehicles.
Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies and investigators from Boulder, Arvada and Westminster on Thursday appealed for public help finding a light-colored pickup truck or SUV.
In the moments before the victim, Alexa Bartell of Arvada, was killed around 10:45 p.m. Wednesday night, she was on her phone talking with a friend, Jefferson County authorities said in a news release. Then, the phone went silent. Bartell’s friend tracked her phone and drove to the location on Indiana Street where Bartell lay fatally wounded inside her yellow Chevy Spark, authorities said.
