Kruger, 39, was shot seven times in his own home on the 2300 block of Watkins Street around 1:30 am. Davis was identified as a suspect the following day.

According to NBC10, Davis has been described as a 5 foot 5 inch tall black male weighing 160 pounds. {snip}

A motive for the shooting has not been revealed, however Police Commissioner Frank Vanore stated earlier this week that authorities believe Kruger and Davis knew each other.

Others drew attention to comments Kruger had made about gun violence, including one post in which he decried the idea that people in Philadelphia were “more likely to get shot and killed than die of COVID in Philly.”
