Jonathan Joss' Husband Says His Murder Is Still a Hate Crime Despite Police Statement: 'I Won't Stop Fighting'
Tristan Kern de Gonzales is calling on social media users to keep Jonathan Joss' memory alive Kern de Gonzales claims his husband's death is the result of a hate crime San Antonio police said their investigation found "no evidence to indicate that the Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation"Tristan Kern de Gonzales, the husband of the late Jonathan Joss, 59, is using social media to call for justice after the actor was killed in what he claims is a hate crime. 'Jonathan Joss is my husband. I don't say 'was' because he will always be my husband. He will always be the love of my life,' Kern de Gonzalez said in a Wednesday, June 4 TikTok video posted on the account Justice for Joss. He explained that he was 'not very familiar with TikTok' or 'the spotlight,' but started the profile to get enough followers to go live and spread the word about Joss being fatally shot by a neighbor on June 1 in San Antonio, Texas. Kern de Gonzales said he'd tried to use a friend's TikTok account to go live to discuss the shooting, but claimed the platform removed the feature, leading him to start his own account to try again. 'I'm gonna keep talking about, not only what happened on the day of my husband's death, but also, we're gonna share just everything about Jonathan and everything that he stood for,' he said, adding, 'We're gonna laugh together. We're gonna cry together. We're gonna be angry together.' "We won't stop talking about this,' Kern de Gonzales continued. 'I'm not going to let the SAPD or anyone else silence the fact that this was a hate crime, and I just won't be silenced.' He concluded, 'I may not be as loud as my husband, but I carry his strength with me. I won't stop fighting for what I know is right and for my love." Kern de Gonzales shared a post on Joss' Facebook page on June 2, claiming the incident was a hate crime. 'My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home,' his statement began. 'That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.' However, the San Antonio Police Department said their investigation "has found no evidence to indicate that the Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation." The SAPD did not respond to PEOPLE's previous requests for comment. However, on Wednesday, they issued an update to their Facebook account. 'We join with the family, friends, and fans mourning the murder of Johnathan Joss—a loss felt deeply not just in San Antonio, but around the world by those who knew him through his work and spirit. Although we arrested a suspect, our homicide detectives continue to follow every lead to fully understand what led to this senseless act,' the statement said.

Marineland remains closed in Niagara Falls, Ont., says it hasn't decided if it will open this year
With the busy summer tourist season in Niagara Falls, Ont., weeks away, Marineland says it still hasn't decided if it will open this year. The beleaguered aquarium told CBC Hamilton in an email Tuesday "no final decision has been made." "As Marineland has repeatedly publicly stated, we continue to be actively engaged in a sale process and transition to new ownership," said the statement from the marketing department. "The long-term health and welfare of the animals remains Marineland's priority in the transition process." As of Tuesday, its main phone number wasn't working, its Facebook page was taken down and its website made no mention of its reopening date. This time last year, its reopening date of June 28 was already posted to its website, according to internet park has traditionally closed for the fall and winter, and reopened in the spring, but in recent years scaled back operations, said Janet Adams, an employment co-ordinator at the Niagara Employment Help Centre. At its height, Marineland would hire 500 to 700 seasonal employees, she said. But last year it hired only a few janitors and cashiers, and called back employees from the year before, Adams said. This year, they haven't posted any summer positions at all, impacting students looking for work, she said. 18 beluga whale deaths since 2019 Ontario's Animal Welfare Services has been investigating Marineland for five years, visiting the park more than 200 times since 2020. Eighteen beluga whales, one killer whale and one dolphin have died at Marineland since late 2019 — including one beluga earlier this year. The province declared in 2021 that all marine mammals at the park were in distress due to poor water, but told The Canadian Press last year the water issue had been brought up to standard. In 2024, Marineland was found guilty under Ontario's animal cruelty laws over its care of three young black bears. The bears lived in an enclosure that measured 48 square feet and their outside area was 360 square feet, and lacked water and climbing structures, a provincial court heard. However, the bears needed to be in an enclosure at least 10,000 square feet, animal welfare inspectors determined. Lobbyist working on animal export permits Last month, Marineland sold one of its properties that included an office building to a numbered corporation for over $2.7 million, according to land records. It's down the road from the sprawling main park. Earlier this year, it got permission from the City of Niagara Falls to sever the large park into four parcels to take out mortgages. Tom Richardson, a lawyer who represents Marineland, said at a public meeting in February that it needs the money to continue funding park operations and eventually move its animals, including more than two dozen beluga whales, as well as bears and deer. "It's to address the elephant in the room, and that is the moving of the whales and other creatures," he said. After the animals are moved, the park will merge the parcels back together, rather than sell them off individually, said Richardson. In March, a consultant for Marineland, Andrew Burns, registered as a lobbyist to "communicate with government officials" about obtaining permits to trade endangered species internationally and export cetaceans, a classification of aquatic mammals that includes whales and dolphins. Burns didn't respond to a request for comment.
