Parks and Recreation star dies after being fatally shot 'by neighbour'
King of the Hill star Jonathan Joss, who is the voice actor of John Redcorn on the show, tragically died after being shot by a neighbour King of the Hill voice actor Jonathan Joss has died after being shot by a neighbour in Texas. The San Antonio Police Department and onlookers claimed the 59-year-old Parks and Recreation actor got into an argument with his neighbour on the city's south side over the weekend before he was shot. A man called Sigfredo Alvarez-Cega was arrested and charged with murder, with a bond set at $200K, as reported by TMZ. The authorities told the publication that the neighbour pulled out a gun during the argument and shot Joss several times before fleeing in a car, with the police arresting him a block away from the residence. Alvarez-Cega was then taken into custody. Paramedics were called to the scene but couldn't save Joss. As shared in a police report, Joss passed away from 'injuries sustained after multiple gun shots'. The Mirror have reached out to the San Antonio Police Department for comment. Following the release of the news, fans rushed to social media to pay tribute to Joss. One said: "This is absolutely devastating news. Jonathan Joss was such a talented actor, and his iconic roles brought so much joy to so many. What a tragic loss." Another said: "It absolutely shatters my heart to learn of the passing of Jonathan Joss, known and loved by many fans as the voice, heart, spirit, and soul of the character John Redcorn. He made a point to be involved in the fandom, and was so kind to all of us. He will never be forgotten!" Joss' husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, released a statement on the actor's official Facebook page claiming the argument began when the couple were checking the mail "at the site of our former home". "When the man fired, Jonathan pushed me out of the way," he said. "He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. "He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. "We picked Valentine's Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future," Gonzales posted before adding he was with Joss when he passed and 'told him how much he was loved.' "To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together," he added. Joss was the voice of John Redcorn on King of the Hill from series two to 13 and even recorded lines for the revival of the animated series. He was also known as Chief Ken Hotate in Parks and Recreation.
