DOYLESTOWN » Investigators are seeking information on the identity of the operators and occupants of three vehicles in the area of Nockamixon State Park around 5:15 p.m. Oct. 24 when 18-year-old Jason Kutt, of Sellersville, was shot, the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office said in a posting on its crimewatchpa.com page updating earlier postings.
Kutt, who was sitting w it h his g i rl f r iend at the edge of L a ke Nocka - mixon near t he Old Ridge Road a ccess to the s t at e park, across from the marina, was pronounced dead early Oct. 26, the DA’s office said.
Kutt was a 2020 graduate of Pennridge High School and Upper Bucks County Technical School (UBCTS) where he studied graphic design, according to obituary information.
“He was currently working for Savage Tree Service as a groundsman while making preparations to enlist in the Air Force in 2021, following in the footsteps of his grandfather. He was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Perkasie. He was an accomplished guitar player, loved the outdoors and was simply enjoying his young adult years. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him and his short life will not soon be forgotten,” the obituary said.
Kutt’s girlfriend told investigators 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. Hunting was allowed in that part of the park that day .
