The man suspected of fatally shooting an innocent dad visiting his kid at upstate Marist College has a lengthy criminal record and was denied bail Monday.
Roy Johnson was charged with second-degree murder in Sunday’s slaying, in which the unidentified father was shot dead during an apparent fight over coffee in the lobby of a Poughkeepsie Courtyard by Marriott hotel.
Johnson was ordered held without bail because of the severity of the case — and two existing felonies, police said Monday at a press conference.
The suspect’s alleged partner in crime, Devin Taylor, also was charged with two counts of criminal weapons possession in the second degree. Taylor’s bail was set at $500,000 cash or a $1 million bond.
Cops have also kept quiet on the identity of the slain innocent victim, who they said was an innocent bystander amid the bloody mayhem and whose family has asked for privacy.
Both suspects in the case were already known to law enforcement because of past run-ins, authorities said.
Officials said they would not be releasing further information about the two suspects’ alleged criminal past.
The incident rocked Marist College, which had parents visiting for Family Weekend at the time.
“Our deepest condolences go out to the family, and we are offering the full support of the Marist community. We remain in contact with local authorities and will keep our community informed with any updates,” the school told The Post in a statement.
