Philadelphia police named Robert Davis, 19, as the suspect in Kruger’s death.

The suspect allegedly shot Kruger seven times in the chest and abdomen around 1:30 a.m. on Monday.

19 year old black kid shooting a gay man who "helped him" at 1:30am? Boy nothing suspicious about THAT right?

Philadelphia Police Department Lieutenant Hamilton Marshond said, “At this time we believe that Mr. Kruger was trying to help Mr. Davis, and they were acquaintances. He was just trying to help him just get through life.”

Oh, of course! Because who isn't trying to held children 'through life' at 2am?

Following his stint in public service, Kruger wrote freelance articles and editorials for outlets such as the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia Citizen on topics including homelessness and LGBTQ+ issues.

Following his death, Kruger was remembered by the Philadelphia District Attorney as an “openly queer writer who wrote about his own journey surviving substance use disorder and homelessness.”

Boy are they trying to give this guy a hero's funeral...just don't ask too many questions.

How come every LGBTQ advocate ends up around underage kids?

19 is neither a child nor underaged. The jogger is legally an adult.

Maybe so, but the circumstances are still suspicious as fuck. A faggot trying to help a young (albeit of age) guy through life at 1:30 in the morning? Occam's razor says the fag came onto him and got a gut full of lead in response. We also don't know how long they knew each other. The jogger might be of age now, but that may not have been the case when the faggot first met him.
