The lawsuit from a witness to the Oct. 2 shooting describes the terrifying moments a gunman opened fire, killing Long Island father Paul Kutz.

"Johnson suddenly emerged from the corridor leading to the first-floor rooms with both hands deep into his pockets, wearing only underpants under his trench coat, a ski mask, and was shouting profanities," a lawsuit filed last week on behalf of Martirano states.

The lawsuit also claims the two men occupied a room rented out by a third party, not by Johnson or Taylor. Martirano's suit states hotel staff performed check-in protocols for the renter, but neither of the two men.
