Philadelphia-based journalist Josh Kruger is dead at age 39 after being shot inside his home.

Kruger, a prominent supporter of the LGBTQ community, was a journalist and former Philadelphia Office of Homeless Services spokesperson who wrote for a variety of outlets including The Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Citizen and LGBTQ Nation.

Philadelphia Police told Fox News Digital that it was a homicide, but no arrests have been made as of Monday morning.

Police responded to reports of gunshots inside Kruger’s apartment and found that he was shot seven times through the chest and abdomen. Kruger was rushed to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center but pronounced dead shortly after arriving.

How on earth would they ever find out?

Was it the married man on a business trip that made him bleed or was it those 2 guys he had a romper room fest after the club closed?
Or perhaps that guy with the motor home who he grinded with at the rest stop.

He could have gotten ab STD from pretty much anywhere.....

I saw some chatter on Twitter that he regularly downplayed the gun violence in Philadelphia.

When something bad happens to a member of the Press, I read it as: “Philadelphia-based journalist Joseph Goebbels is dead at age 39 after being shot inside his home.”

That way, I can longer give a hoot.

I must be getting cold-hearted in my old age, because I read the name as written and still didn't care

At least he’ll get his own page on wikipedia now that he’s famous.

The cat looks guilty as hell. I’d check it for powder residue.

I suspect a prostitute was involved.

Do the words “poetic justice” come to mind or is it just me?

Typically when a homo is killed, if there is just one wound it is a normal murder. But if there are a bunch of wounds, like all the bullets in a gun or stabbed 70 times, it is a “lovers’ quarrel”, and it is easy to identify the perp.

Sounds like a domestic. It’s time to re-watch Trading Places.>>> A lot of it was shot just north of point breeze where the guy lived. (rittenhouse square) The house was on Delancey. A guy i knew woke up one morming and as he got out of his house they were filming some scenes. I lived two blocks away for a while.

Another victim of the continuing Covid plague.
