Shot actor Jonathan Joss's husband reveals dispute with police
The fatal shooting of actor Jonathan Joss, known for King of the Hill and Parks and Recreation, was a hate crime, his husband Tristan Kern de Gonzalez alleges.
In an exclusive interview with The Independent, Kern de Gonzalez has recounted holding Joss as he died while the suspect, Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, allegedly laughed and made homophobic remarks.
Kern de Gonzales said there had been ongoing harassment and feuding with the suspect, including racist and homophobic abuse directed at Joss.
However, San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) stated there is "no evidence" the murder was motivated by bigotry. Alvarez is now facing first-degree murder charges.
Kern de Gonzalez has alleged police 'ignored us' and refused to file reports for two years after the couple complained about harassment.
