The family of Robert Davis, 19, who is accused of killing local journalist Josh Kruger, said that Davis was just 15 when he and Kruger began a years-long relationship involving drugs — and that Davis told them Kruger was threatening to post sexually explicit videos of him online before, police say, Davis shot Kruger.
Those assertions by Davis’ mother and older brother in recent interviews with The Inquirer add troubling new complexities to a killing that has garnered national attention. Their account, they said, is drawn from recent conversations with Davis, and from the years of watching his life unravel as he tried to keep the relationship and his drug addiction hidden.
Kruger, 39, was killed after a man entered his Point Breeze home in the middle of the night, police said, and shot him seven times at the base of his stairs. Surveillance video near the scene and tips from Kruger’s friends and family led detectives to Davis, and a warrant was issued for his arrest a few days later. Police described the pair as acquaintances, and said Kruger “was trying to help [Davis] get through life.”
The family’s contentions come as detectives separately discovered and are investigating what multiple law enforcement sources have called explicit photos and messages in Kruger’s phone. The sources, who requested anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation, did not say whether the images or messages were connected to Davis, but said they were “disturbing” and have been turned over to the department’s Special Victims Unit for further analysis.
Deputy Police Commissioner Frank Vanore said the contents of Kruger’s phone are part of the investigation as detectives seek to learn more about why he may have been killed. But critical details of what happened, he said, lie with Davis, who remains at-large.
“I think he could answer a lot of questions if he comes into custody and surrenders,” Vanore said. “It might help us put all this together.”

For Carson, here's the full video of the attack. No blood, but clearly the stab attempts resulted in the death: https://files.catbox.moe/1wekkt.mp4
Not sure walking around Brooklyn at 4am is a good idea, nor is it while wearing nice clothes, nor is it good to approach a person wearing a hoodie (I will not mention race, that clearly doesn't matter), nor is it good to keep walking towards that person who is attacking a trashcan at 4am. Anyway, not to sound harsh, but I wonder if his so-called "justice reform" mindset made him numb to some very basic survival skills.
Side note: When the video starts, it looks like they are sitting on the bench, possibly both crying? The body language walking from the bench also implies they might be in a relationship fight.
