IMO, definitely fired from a launcher, sometimes canister-style, though may be loose and not necessarily require a container. MOO

Definitely something like this. I lean more towards the homemade variety. They need to catch this person ASAP. BTW, my son made a marshmallow shooter for science class in the 6th grade. The dogs loved it. Lol.

Wow.

18? I was really hoping this was going to be some really stupid 15~ year olds. 18 is old enough to know how dangerous and dumb their actions were.

Sad. Three young people with their whole lives ahead of them have taken another young life and thrown their own away.

There's some extremely unfortunate hair happening in those mugshots ... but that's no reason to murder anyone. Sigh. Losers.

Rest in eternal peace, Alexa.
My condolences to her family and friends.
Such an unexpected manner in which to lose your loved one.

What a disgusting and senseless crime.
Imo this cannot be construed as an 'accident'.
They're old enough to know a rock can kill.
Charge them to the max, and may they spend many years in prison thinking about their life choices.
M00.

I assume Koenig, Chik, and Kwak will regret their actions once they start serving time ?
Imo.

 

[AzPistonsGirl]

ugh, she was on the phone talking when her car was hit. That person on the other end of that call - how horrifying. Some peace that Alexa is not suffering, (IMO) but that person, ugh... my heart aches for them...

Moo...stupid, I am sure death was not intended...but stupid. So many lives (and death) altered...because of stupid....moo

 

[Chelly]

I am concerned they will get off easy. These three killers must be brought to trial and receive lengthy prison time. This is murder.

Curious of size and weight of rocks. Do they just pick up random available rock or do they have a collection?

The area where this happened is known as Rocky Flats. Rocks of just about any size you want can be found by the roadside.

I used to live in this area and drove past this homicide site on Indiana almost every day.

They were landscaping rocks that they took from Walmart according to affidavit.

the idea that if she were still lingering they could've helped her is beyond ...

Moo...stupid, I am sure death was not intended...but stupid. So many lives (and death) altered...because of stupid....moo

But after the incident they came back to the scene of her death and took pictures of the scene-----AND WENT OUT THE NEXT DAY AND DID THE SAME THING AGAIN...

So intended or not, it it didn't stop them from doing it again first chance they got. Lock em up, throw away the key....

Three adults. They knew they could kill someone and none of them really cared, IMO.
