Contradicting the claim of Tristan Kern de Gonzales, the husband of the King of the Hill star Jonathan Joss that he was shot dead by a homophobic man, the San Antonio Police Department said there has been no evidence that Joss’s murder was related to his sexual orientation. “Currently the investigation has found no evidence to indicate that Mr. Joss’s murder was related to his sexual orientation,” the department wrote on X. “SAPD investigators handle these allegations very seriously and have thoroughly reviewed all available information. Should any new evidence come to light, the suspect will be charged accordingly,” it said. Sogfredo Alvarez Ceja has been arrested for killing Jonathan Joss after their heated argument though the actor’s neighbors claimed Joss was not a good neighbor and used to do weird things.
Shocking revelations about Jonathan Joss’s murder
Joss’ husband Gonzales said they went to their former house to check the mail Sunday. This is the same house that got burned down earlier this year and they lost their pet dogs. On Sunday when they went there to check mails, they came across the bones of the dead pet and that made them distressed. Gonzales said they started yelling and crying in pain when Alvarez came up, hurled homophobic slurs at them and opened fire, killing the 59-year-old actor. In his Facebook post, Gonzales said they have endured such open humiliation over their relationship for years which they reported to the cops but there was no help. Gonzales said they were unarmed, they did not threaten anyone when they were attacked. Residents, however, called Joss a loud and erratic neighbor. They said he used to break out in loud rants, bang pans from his roof at midnight, would walk up and down the street and scream. “Even if he looked at us, talked mess to us, we just ignored him,” a neighbour told My San Antonio. One neighbor told that he used to yell that he was God until neighbors called the police. According to reports, San Antonio cops were called to Joss’s home at least 40 times since January 2024 with complaints ranging from mental health situations, neighbor disturbances and welfare checks.
