Jonathan Joss, known for his roles in King of the Hill and Parks and Recreation, has died following a fatal shooting, according to the San Antonio Police Department. He was 59.
Joss, who was born Dec. 22, 1965, was an actor and producer. He voiced John Redcorn on the hit animated television series King of the Hill from 1998 to 2009.
Joss also appeared on several television shows including Walker, Texas Ranger, ER, Charmed, Friday Night Lights and Parks and Recreation, in which he starred as Chief Ken Hotate.
In January, Joss revealed that his home in South San Antonio had been destroyed by a fire, according to ABC San Antonio station KSAT-TV. The home had been built by his father in 1957. The fire also took the lives of his three dogs, he said.
Kern de Gonzales shared a statement about Joss' death on the actor's Facebook page Monday, claiming that the incident was allegedly preceded by multiple threats and harassment from "individuals" in the area. Kern de Gonzales claimed he and Joss were "checking the mail at the site of our former home" when a man approached them and allegedly "started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired."
