San Antonio Actor Jonathan Joss Killed, Investigation Ongoing

San Antonio actor Jonathan Joss, best known for voicing John Redcorn on 'King of the Hill,' was shot and killed outside his childhood home on June 1, 2025. His death has led to multiple vigils and widespread mourning in the LGBTQ+ and Indigenous communities. Community leaders and Joss's husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, described ongoing homophobic harassment and called the murder a hate crime. San Antonio Police initially said there was no evidence of bias, but Chief William McManus later retracted that statement, acknowledging the investigation is still ongoing. The suspect, Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, has been charged with murder and maintains his innocence. Joss's death has prompted calls for improved mental health resources and greater accountability for violence against marginalized groups.
