Police Reveal Suspect They Say Murdered Leftist Philadelphia Journalist and Gay Rights Activist Josh Kruger

Cristina Laila reported Monday that a Philadelphia journalist was shot dead in his home in the 2300 block of Watkins Street early Monday morning after he received a mysterious threat.

39-year-old Josh Kruger was shot in the chest and abdomen seven times and was pronounced dead at the hospital shortly after 2 am. The murder took place two weeks after he was threatened by a person who calls themselves “Lady Diabla, the She-Devil of the Streets.”

Kruger wrote for The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Philadelphia Citizen. Kruger was a gay man who advocated for LGBTQ causes, the homeless, and drug-addicted citizens.

Jim Hoft also revealed Kruger mocked conservatives who warned about violence in America before being murdered in his home. He also laughed off any suggestion that he purchase a firearm in crime-ridden Philly.

Now it appears justice is arriving for Kruger. Philadelphia police have identified the suspect they say killed Kruger.

His name is 19-year-old Robert Edmond Davis. A warrant is out for his arrest.
