N.H. man accused of fatal 2023 shooting reindicted on new charges

John L. Kratz, 31, was arrested Tuesday and arraigned Thursday after a New Hampshire grand jury indicted him again for second-degree murder in the 2023 shooting death of his uncle, John Kratz Jr., at a Derry restaurant. The new indictment followed dismissal of an earlier case in 2025 after a judge found Kratz incompetent to stand trial. He is being held without bail as prosecutors pursue the case.
