Loved ones gathered this
morning to remember the Long Island father killed in a Poughkeepsie hotel lobby
during Marist College’s family weekend.
A funeral Mass was
held for Paul Kutz at St. Anthony of Padua Church in East Northport.
Kutz, 53, leaves behind his wife and three
children. He was a certified public accountant in Great Neck.
In lieu of flowers, his family asks that donations
be made in his honor to Little Shelter Animal Rescue and Adoption Center in
Huntington.
News 12 reported that Kutz was fatally struck by stray bullets when the two
men allegedly opened fire inside the Courtyard Marriott on the morning of
Sunday, Oct. 2.
According to court documents, Johnson, 35, faces
second-degree murder for intentionally discharging his gun and having a loaded
semi-automatic 9 mm gun. Taylor, 26 faces a pair of weapons charges
for allegedly having a P-22 and an A-R style rifle that had a collapsible stock
but no serial number.
