The San Antonio man accused of fatally shooting his neighbor Jonathan Joss, the actor best known for his voice work on animated series \u201cKing of the Hill,\u201d faces a murder charge. <\/p>\n
A grand jury in Bexar County, Texas, on Monday indicted 57-year-old Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez on a single felony count of first-degree murder, according to legal records reviewed by The Times. Legal representatives for Alvarez did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Alvarez was indicted more than five months after police arrested him on suspicion of murder in connection to the fatal shooting<\/a>. Officers responded to the 200 block of Dorsey Street on the evening of June 1, where they found Joss near the roadway, according to an incident report. The report initially identified Alvarez as \u201cSigfredo Alvarez Ceja\u201d and said the incident occurred on the 200 block of \u201cDorsey Dr.\u201d<\/p>\n First responders \u201cattempted life saving measures\u201d until EMS officers arrived, police said. The actor, who also appeared in \u201cParks and Recreation,\u201d was pronounced dead at the scene. He was 59.<\/p>\n Though police did not disclose details about the events that led to the shooting, Joss\u2019 husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales alleged in a Facebook<\/a> post that he and Joss suffered \u201copenly homophobic\u201d harassment and threats prior to the fatal shooting, which he claimed was also motivated by homophobia. <\/p>\n At the time, Gonzales wrote that he and Joss had returned to the site of the actor\u2019s San Antonio home \u2014 which had burned down in January \u2014 to check their mail. The actor had also lost three dogs in the fire. Gonzalez alleged that a man approached them, \u201cstarted yelling violent homophobic slurs\u201d and \u201craised a gun from his lap and fired.\u201d<\/p>\n He said Joss pushed him out of the way, saving his life, and added that his husband \u201cwas murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.\u201d <\/p>\n Police disputed Gonzales\u2019 claims, writing in a tweet that \u201c<\/a>the investigation has found no evidence to indicate that Mr. Joss\u2019 murder was related to his sexual orientation.\u201d In a separate tweet<\/a> shared in June, police said investigators \u201chandle these allegations very seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n In \u201cKing of the Hill,\u201d Joss voiced John Redcorn, protagonist Hank Hill\u2019s neighbor. He recorded lines for the series\u2019 revival prior to his death. His TV credits also include \u201cTulsa King,\u201d \u201cRay Donovan,\u201d \u201cFriday Night Lights,\u201d \u201cER\u201d and \u201cCharmed.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.latimes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The San Antonio man accused of fatally shooting his neighbor Jonathan Joss, the actor best known for his voice work on animated series \u201cKing of the Hill,\u201d faces a murder charge.
