    PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- An arrest warrant has been issued for 19-
    year-old Robert Davis in the murder of journalist and activist
    Josh Kruger, Philadelphia police said Friday. The arrest warrant
    includes charges of murder and related offenses.

    Investigators believe Kruger and Davis were acquaintances, and
    Kruger was in the process of trying to help him. According to
    police, Davis appeared to be homeless at one point in his life.

    "We are also asking Mr. Davis to surrender himself to the
    police," Philadelphia Police Homicide Unit Lt. Hamilton
    Marshmond said.

    Police said Davis is known to the department but would not
    specify.

    Kruger, 39, was shot multiple times and killed shortly before
    1:30 a.m. Monday in his home on the 2300 block of Watkins Street
    in Point Breeze.

    "Mr. Kruger was trying to help Mr. Davis and they were
    acquaintances," Marshmond said. "He was just trying to help him
    get through life."

    While Lt. Marshmond says it appears Davis may have been homeless
    for a time, Davis' last known address puts him just a five-
    minute walk away from Kruger's home. Police said they have video
    showing Davis in the area of the shooting.

    But there's still much they're not releasing.

    Investigators did not say what led to the deadly encounter or
    whether Davis broke into the home or was allowed inside. For the
    family and friends of Kruger, possibly the biggest question also
    remains unanswered, a motive.

    "As to the why, I do not know at this time," Marshmond said.
    Only Mr. Davis will be able to answer that."

    A freelance journalist and former communications director for
    the city's Office of Homeless Services, friends and former
    colleagues mourning Kruger this week described him as a
    dedicated advocate for those in need.

    He served as the communications director for the city's Office
    of Homeless Services and also handled Mayor Jim Kenney's social
    media for a period of time.

    The Philadelphia DA's LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee said Kruger
    never stopped fighting for Philadelphia's LGBTQ+ community.
