The man killed at a Mason lumber business is being remembered as a young father who dedicated his time to giving back.
Vincent Stoetzel, 29, was identified by Warren County Coroner Dr.
Russell Uptegrove as the man killed Wednesday, July 22, at Carter Lumber on Reading Road.
Stoetzel was shot “approximately 22 times” by David Cohen, according to court records.
Those who knew Stoetzel say he was a positive light for everyone that he encountered.
“He dedicated his summers to doing volunteer outreach,” said Stacey Smith, who grew up with Stoetzel.
“He always wanted to show God’s love in practical ways, so handing out bottles of ice-cold water, volunteering at free car washes, offering to pray for people.”
Smith said Stoetzel was a young father who loved his family.
“I could see him instilling his values into his kids just based on his posts, wanting to connect with God, wanting to pray for people, wanting to help people, wanting to connect with people in all sorts of ways,” Smith described.
Stoetzel’s accused killer, David Cohen, is charged with aggravated murder.
The shooting happened around 1:15 p.m.
Wednesday at Carter Lumber.
Cohen fled the scene, but he was later taken into custody at gunpoint near mile marker 35 on westbound Interstate 275.
Cohen will be back in court on July 27 for a bond hearing.
