   Three Colorado teenagers arrested in connection with a rock-throwing spree   
   that killed a driver have been formally charged with murder.   
      
   They also now face a dozen other counts for allegedly throwing large   
   landscaping rocks toward seven vehicles on suburban Denver roads on April   
   19.   
      
   Joseph Koenig, Nicholas "Mitch" Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak, all 18-year-   
   old high school seniors, were arrested last month on first-degree murder,   
   with extreme indifference, in connection with the rock-throwing spree.   
      
   The final rock-throwing incident killed 20-year-old driver Alexa Bartell.   
   Three other people were injured, according to prosecutors.   
      
   The three teens have now formally been charged with one count of murder in   
   the first degree, with extreme indifference, as well as six counts of   
   criminal attempt to commit murder in the first degree, three counts of   
   assault in the second degree and three counts of criminal attempt to   
   commit assault in the second degree, the Colorado First Judicial District   
   Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.   
      
   "Based on the available facts and after careful legal analysis, we have   
   filed charges and will now move forward with a criminal prosecution,"   
   First Judicial District Attorney Alexis King said in a statement. "It is   
   important to remember that these individuals are presumed innocent unless   
   and until they are proven guilty. As in every case, our goal is to seek   
   justice.”   
      
   Karol-Chik, Koenig, and Kwak are being held without bond. They appeared in   
   court Wednesday for the return filing of charges.   
      
   The three defendants, dressed in orange jumpsuits and handcuffed, sat with   
   their attorneys. A court official escorted six family members who sat in   
   the front row. The families declined to talk to ABC News or identify   
   themselves.   
      
   As the proceeding began, Judge Christopher Zenisek asked each defendant if   
   they were aware of the charges. Their attorneys responded yes. The only   
   words each defendant spoke were, “Yes, your honor.”   
      
   The next hearing in the case has been scheduled for May 16.   
      
   Koenig and Karol-Chik had allegedly thrown rocks at cars on at least 10   
   separate occasions since February, according to court documents.   
      
   Karol-Chik allegedly told police that on April 19, all three teens threw   
   rocks at cars and they were "excited" when they hit them, according to   
   court documents. He allegedly said Kwak was the one who threw the fatal   
   rock at Bartell's car, the documents said.   
      
   After Bartell's car was hit, Kwak allegedly said, "We have to go back to   
   see that," and when they turned around, Kwak allegedly took a photo of   
   Bartell's car "as a memento," according to the documents.
