Kruger was fatally shot inside his home on the 2300 block of
Watkins Street just before 1:30 a.m. on Monday. The 39-year-old
was shot seven times and pronounced dead after he was taken to
the hospital, police said.
The news of Kruger's death left friends and local officials
devastated.
Kruger, who wrote for outlets like the Philadelphia Inquirer,
Philadelphia Weekly, Philadelphia City Paper and other
publications, overcame homelessness and addiction to work for
five years in city government. He handled Mayor Jim Kenney's
social media and served as he communications director for the
city's Office of Homeless Services.
Kenney said in a statement on Monday that he was "shocked and
saddened" by Kruger's death.
"[Kruger] cared deeply about our city and its residents, which
was evident in his public service and writing," Kenney said in a
statement. "Our administration was fortunate to call him a
colleague, and our prayers are with everyone who knew him."
The DA's LGBTQ+ Advisory Committee said Kruger never stopped
fighting for Philadelphia's LGBTQ+ community.
