JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — We are learning more about what led to
the arrest of three high school seniors suspected of a rock-throwing crime spree that killed a 20-year-old woman.

FOX31 received the arrest documents from the Jefferson County court on
Thursday morning.

Father of rock-throwing suspect also arrested during investigation
Timeline of investigation
The documents outlined what led to the arrest of Joseph Koenig, Nicholas ‘Mitch’ Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak.

According to the documents, investigators located a camera near one of the incidents that showed three vehicles. One of the vehicles was driven by a victim and another was driven by a witness. The only other vehicle on the
road was tracked between multiple cameras and moving at a high speed, the affidavit showed.

Investigators said they sent photos of the taillights to an employee with Chevrolet. The vehicle was identified as a 2014-2016 Chevy Silverado
pickup.

Rock-throwing suspect ‘had stupid ideas,’ says teen who knows him
On April 25, a person called police to explain that he and a co-worker
were talking about the rock-throwing incident. The co-worker said that on
April 19 he was with three people who were loading rocks into their
vehicle at a Walmart parking lot near West 72nd Avenue and Sheridan
Boulevard.

The co-worker then said he asked to be taken home because he didn’t want
to have anything to do with what they were up to, documents showed.

Where did the rocks come from?
According to investigative documents, police interviewed the co-worker as
a witness and he told them that he watched people named Joe, Mitch and
Zach take landscaping rocks from the edge of the Walmart parking lot at
72nd and Sheridan Boulevard on April 19.

He also said they put the rocks in the back seat of a Chevy Silverado 1500 pickup truck, possibly around a 2019-2020 model, court documents showed.

Memorial placed at site of Alexa Bartell’s death
When investigators asked how many rocks they took, the witness said, “as
much as they could carry.”

The witness told investigators he “knew something bad was going to
happen,” so he insisted they take him home, which they did, the court
documents showed.

When they left, Joe was driving, Mitch was in the front passenger’s seat,
and Zach was behind Mitch, according to the witness.

Other rock-throwing incidents
When Mitch, identified as Nicholas “Mitch” Karol-Chik, was arrested on
April 25, he agreed to speak with investigators.

According to police documents, Karol-Chik told investigators that all
three were involved in throwing rocks at moving cars and that he and
Zachary Kwak collected the rocks.

Karol-Chik also allegedly told investigators that he and Joe Koenig were involved in throwing objects, including a statue and other rocks, at
vehicles since at least February and at least on 10 separate days.

Karol-Chik also allegedly told investigators that Koenig threw the rock
that hit Alexa Bartell‘s vehicle.

Investigators said that when Koenig was arrested, he declined to be interviewed.

When Kwak was arrested, he agreed to be interviewed. According to court documents, he told investigators he was with Koenig and Karol-Chik and
they went to a Walmart near Denver and then went driving around.

Kwak allegedly said he remembered stopping to collect rocks and then
throwing them at passing cars. He said he believed Koenig was driving.

He also explained that Koenig threw the final rock, which was the one that
hit Bartell’s car. Kwak said he saw the car leave the road and shortly
after, Koenig turned around and went back to where it happened. When they
got there, Kwak said he took a picture of the vehicle because he thought
Koenig or Karol-Chik would want it as a memento, documents showed.

After that, Kwak allegedly told investigators they left, and Koenig took
him home. During the drive to Kwak’s house, he said that Koenig and Karol-
Chik were talking about them now being “blood brothers” and they could
never speak of the incident.

According to investigators, Kwak said Koenig met with him the next day to
get their stories straight about what happened and tried to deny
involvement.

What charges are they facing?
All three suspects are facing charges of first-degree murder with extreme indifference. Additional charges are expected to be filed at a later date.

They are being held without bond.
