Bucks County detectives are looking to identify the operators and occupants of three vehicles that were in the area of Nockamixon State Park around the time of the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Jason A. Kutt on Saturday.
According to Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub, detectives want to speak to the owners/operators of the three vehicles as potential witnesses, after receiving information from a witness they were seen parked or traveling on or near Old Ridge Road around the time of the 5:15 shooting.
Descriptions of the vehicles:
- Chevrolet S-10 Blazer SUV, champagne color, 2000 model year
- Toyota Camry or Avalon, silver, 2000 model year
- Mercedes SUV, possibly a GLS350, black, unknown model year
Kutt, 18, of Sellersville, was sitting with his girlfriend at the edge of the lake on Saturday afternoon, waiting for the sun to set, when a bullet struck him in the back of the head. The recent Pennridge High School graduate died early Monday.
The shooting happened near the Old Ridge Road access to the state park, across from the marina at Lake Nockamixon. Kutt's girlfriend, whose name is being withheld by authorities, said she saw a man in an orange vest, which she described as hunting clothing, standing behind a yellow gate at Old Ridge Road, looking in their direction. The investigation found that the distance from that gate to where Kutt and his girlfriend were sitting was 550 feet away.
At a news conference on Monday, District Attorney Matt Weintraub pleaded with the public to help track down the shooter and find out what happened at the state park. "We need to understand how Jason Kutt died and we need your help to do that.”
Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to contact the Bucks County Detectives at (215) 348-6868 or (215) 340-8140, or they can send a tip at
