‘King of the Hill' voice actor fatally shot: Reports
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (WJW) — Actor Jonathan Joss, best known for his voice work in the animated sitcom 'King of the Hill,' has died in an apparent shooting in Texas. According to multiple reports, the 59-year-old was allegedly shot by a neighbor. Nexstar's KTLA reports that police were called to the shooting in San Antonio, Texas, at about 7 p.m. Sunday and found Joss lying 'near the roadway.' 'The officers attempted life-saving measures until EMS arrived. EMS pronounced the victim deceased,' police said in a statement, as reported by KTLA. KTLA reported that police later detained Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, 56, who is believed to live in the area, and charged him with murder. TMZ was among the first outlets to report the death, citing sources who said a neighbor fired at Joss after a dispute, then fled the scene in his car. KTLA said law enforcement couldn't confirm whether Ceja and Joss were neighbors. Joss' partner Tristan Kern de Gonzales offered more details on social media Monday afternoon, claiming that he and Joss had returned to the site of their home, which had burned down, to check the mail when they were attacked. De Gonzalez further alleged that the house caught fire after some of their neighbors made threats to burn it down, but neighbors who spoke with TMZ claimed Joss himself accidentally burned the home while attempting to use a BBQ pit to heat the residence. '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,' de Gonzales claimed on Facebook. 'We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.' He said he and Joss were 'harassed regularly' by people who 'made it clear' they did not support the couple's relationship. 'Much of the harassment was openly homophobic,' de Gonzales wrote. At the home, he said in the post, the couple found the skull and harness of one of their dogs 'placed in clear view.' 'This caused both of us severe emotional distress,' de Gonzales wrote. 'We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw.' De Gonzales claimed that's when they were approached by a man directing 'violent homophobic slurs' at them. He said the man fired a gun, and Joss pushed de Gonzales out of the way. 'He saved my life,' de Gonzales said of Joss. 'He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other,' de Gonzales wrote. He said neither he nor Joss was armed, adding, 'We were not threatening anyone.' He said now he is focusing on 'protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together.' Joss provided the voice of John Redcorn in 'King of the Hill.' According to Internet Movie Database, he was also known for his work in 'Abduction of the Fourth Kind' (2022), 'The Magnificent Seven' (2016) and 'The Forever Purge' (2021).
