It’s not clear if the suspects have entered pleas or retained attorneys.

It’s also unclear which suspect authorities believe was driving the black 2016 Chevy Silverado investigators were looking for, but all three are accused of being involved in a rock-throwing spree that targeted multiple vehicles in the area, according to the release.

On April 19 at 10:45 p.m., Alexa Bartell was driving on Indiana Street, a long stretch of highway in Jefferson County, when a large rock was hurled through her windshield, killing her, PEOPLE previously reported.

Bartell’s car was the last one to be hit with rocks in a series of attacks than began the night of April 19, according to the release.

Meanwhile, Bartell’s loved ones were left trying to figure out why this happened to her.

“It just doesn’t feel real,” former high school classmate Emily Audette toldFox 31.“She was always just someone you could go to about anything, someone you could always talk to. She was just friends with everybody and made everybody laugh.”

The sheriff’s office said “mobile device forensics” and tips from the public helped lead to the swift arrests.

“This week’s recognition of Crime Victims' Rights reminds us of the courage and resilience of crime victims, including the Bartell family,” the release states. “They are our motivation.”
