Loving Dad of 3 at Son's College Family Weekend, Shot Dead in Hotel Lobby

What was supposed to be a fun-filled weekend with his son, turned tragedic as a New York father is killed at his hotel. Paul Kutz, 53, died after a man opens fire in the hotel lobby.

Two men with reported gang ties have been arrested for the shooting, Roy Johnson Jr. and Devin Taylor. J

Johnson Jr. is believed to be the shooter. He’s now facing felony charges of second-degree murder and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

Taylor has been charged with felony second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

News reports say the men were homeless and staying at the hotel, although it’s unclear how long they had been there.
