So the family alleges that the murder victim was a pedophile.

The Philadelphia Inquirer refers to these new allegations as "new complexities in the case."

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.

That last part sounds like a lie. Why would a pedophile threaten to post videos of his victim? Seems like that would be exposing him to prison.

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.

So, right there -- he was a pedophile. Period.

The killer remains at large.

Damica Davis said her son called her on Friday, just hours after Philadelphia police burst into her South Philadelphia home looking for him. She urged him to turn himself in, she said, but before the call ended, he frantically tried to explain himself, though he stopped short of admitting to the crime.

"He was scared," she said. "He said '... He wanted me to do some stuff I didn't want to do and if I didn't do it, he said he was going to blackmail me.'"

Damica Davis and her older son Jaylin Reason said in an interview that Davis faced mental health issues from a young age. He struggled to control his anger in school, his mother said, partially because of the absence of his biological father in his life, and often got into fights. When he was about 15, she said, his troubles intensified after he started sneaking out in the middle of the night and coming home high on drugs.

It's so weird -- it is routinely asserted, as a defense in criminal cases, that the victim was fatherless and therefore never had a chance.

But if you say that fatherlessness in the black community is a major problem and source of social dysfunction, you're a racist.

So some people can say it, in their own defense, but if you say "Hey maybe we should make it a national priority to push black people to either practice birth control or get married, given that it is asserted by black people and their lawyers that fatherlessness is a major contributing cause to criminality and misery," you get cancelled.

This is a lot like affirmative action, where white liberals give each other awards for hiring black people just because of their race, but if you say "you're hiring just based on race," they call you a racist.

If you say it in a positive way, then it's true, but if you say it in a negative (or strictly neutral) way, then it's a racist lie that you should lose your job and home over.

Are we going to talk about the 15,000 ton elephant in the room, or are we just going to keep claiming that sky-high black crime rates are just due to "white supremacy"?

We're just going to keep pretending it's all "white supremacy," huh?

Yeahhhh it's all my fault, I should have known.

Oh and does this mean this beloved Gay and Homeless advocate was a white supremacist? He is alleged to have badly used a Black Body for his own white benefit, after all.
