Jonathan Joss: Police Are Investigating Actor’s Sexual Orientation as Motive in His Killing

Police investigating the shooting death of actor Jonathan Joss have not ruled out his sexual orientation playing a role in his killing.

During a dispute Sunday night near his San Antonio, Texas home, Joss was shot and killed; a neighbor, identified by investigators as Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, was taken into custody and charged with murder. Following Joss’ death, the King of the Hill voice actor’s husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, said on social media that they were approached by the neighbor who began yelling homophobic slurs and fired his gun. King of the Hill ’s co-creators, Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, and revival showrunner Saladin Patterson shared a post on Instagram alongside images of Joss and his character, John Redcorn.
