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.
