An arrest warrant was issued Friday for the man suspected of killing Philadelphia journalist and community advocate Josh Kruger earlier this week. Police identified Robert Edmond Davis, 19, as the 'offender' in Kruger's slaying, Lt. Hamilton Marshmond said at a news conference Friday afternoon, thanking the public as well as Kruger's family and friends 'for providing information and assisting the police department in this investigation.
Davis taken into custody in a safe manner for the public, our officers and himself,' Marshmond said. Kruger, 39, was shot inside his home at 1:28 a.m. Monday. Police said he sustained seven gunshot wounds to the abdomen and chest. Police said there was no sign of forced entry. A motive is not clear. The journalist was known in the community as a social justice advocate and worked for Mayor Jim Kenney's administration as a spokesperson for the Office of Homeless Services.
