Jonathan Joss murder: Actor struggled to return to San Antonio from Austin hours before death, ‘I'm being ghosted'
Actor Jonathan Joss, who was best known for his voice work on the popular animated TV comedy 'King of Hill,' was fatally shot by a neighbor in Texas. The 'John Redcorn' voice artist, 59, got into an argument with the suspect at his home in San Antonio Sunday night, June 1, before the neighbor pulled out a gun and shot the actor several times, police said, according to the New York Post. While the suspect initially fled the scene in a vehicle, police soon arrested him a block from the residence.
Joss' most recent Facebook activity suggests that he struggled to find a ride back to San Antonio from Austin. He wrote on Facebook a day ago, 'Last night's gig was amazing — huge thanks to everyone who came out and showed us love! We're feeling so grateful for the support and good vibes. Now we're looking for a ride from Austin to San Antonio — if anyone's heading that way soon and has room for a couple of performers and our gear, hit us up! Thanks again, y'all. We couldn't do this without you!'
Shortly after, Joss wrote in another post, 'We can throw in gas money and migraine healing for anyone heading to San Antonio'.
A few hours later, Joss revealed that he got no help with the transportation. 'Unfortunately my former manager did not help me with transportation to get back to San Antonio which was the plan….now I'm being ghosted. Could anyone please give my husband and I a ride to San Antonio,' he wrote.
Shortly after, Joss wrote that they got a ride. 'We have a ride thank you to everyone,' he wrote.
In a separate post, which was his last post before he died, Joss wrote, 'Our ride will arrive in a few hours thank you everyone we are grabbing some food and feeling thankful for the support'.
Joss is survived by his husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales, whom he mentioned in one of his last posts. Gonzales described Joss as the "love of his life' in a previous post announcing their union.

Chhattisgarh: 2 Congress leaders arrested for obscene posts on PM, Op Sindoor
RAIPUR: Two Chhattisgarh Congress leaders, including a former MLA, Arun Tiwari, were booked in two districts for allegedly posting objectionable content on social media targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Operation Sindoor. Police said that Tiwari shared a Facebook post laced with objectionable language aimed at the Prime Minister and Operation Sindoor.

Watch: Elephant Goes On Snacking Spree Inside Thailand Store, Binges On Peanuts And Sweets
Show Quick Read Summary is AI-generated, newsroom-reviewed Acknowledging "the elephant in the room" took on a literal meaning for people at a Thai convenience store recently. An actual elephant wandered in one afternoon and, like many other human customers, headed straight to a food counter. CCTV footage and other videos offering glimpses of the gentle giant's snacking spree have gone viral online. The animal has been identified as Plai Biang Lek, who is well-known in the neighbourhood. The store is located near the Khao Yai National Park, so elephants are frequently spotted around the area. As per reports, Biang Lek has been seen near the same store in the past, but never entered it till now. Also Read: From Penguins Around Diners To Snakes At The Table, 8 Fascinating Animal Cafes Around The World One video making the rounds online was shared by the Facebook page "Here is Khao Yai". It shows the elephant strolling inside the store and rummaging for treats in various sections. Shop owner Khamploi Kakaew told CNN, "It walked up to the counter - the candy counter near the freezer. It used its trunk to gently push the freezer out of the way so it could fit inside. It went straight to the snacks, picked through them with its trunk. It ate about 10 bags of sweets ... It also ate dried bananas and peanut snacks." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bangkok Community Help (@bangkokcommunityhelp) In the footage, the elephant's head can be seen grazing the ceiling as he moves. He ended up creating a mess in certain aisles. However, according to reports, no one was injured. The owner's efforts to get the elephant to leave were in vain. Biang Lek spent around 10 minutes inside the store and was later guided away by park rangers. The incident has caused quite a stir on social media platforms and prompted various humorous comments. One person nicknamed him "7-elephant" - a nod to the popular convenience store chain called 7/11. Here's how Instagram users reacted to the viral video: "When it's hot outside, I also go to 7/11 to cool down." "Are we just gonna ignore the elephant in the room?" "Wanted to find out what the 'elephant in the room' was up to!" "He's like 'Well this used to be my forest and y'all built a town here but I ain't leaving...'" "Man, I thought something like that I'd only see in a cartoon." "How did he fit through the door??" "Big guy just wanted snacks." "Bull in a China in a Mini Mart." "Unexpected elephant in the bagging area." "That guy has a membership there." A wildlife protection group later offered to pay the store for the goods consumed by the elephant.
