A Texas grand jury brought charges on Monday against a man accused of killing Jonathan Joss, the actor known for his role in “King of the Hill,” in an incident that took place in June.

The Houston Chronicle reported that Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, aged 57, faces charges of shooting Joss, also 57, outside Joss’ previous residence in San Antonio. Investigations revealed that an altercation between the two escalated when Alvarez retrieved a firearm and shot Joss multiple times.

After the shooting, Alvarez allegedly fled the scene, leaving Joss in the street where he was later pronounced dead.

According to KENS, residents mentioned that Joss, whose house had been destroyed by fire months earlier, used to visit the neighborhood to collect his mail. They also noted a prolonged conflict between Joss and Alvarez, characterized by confrontations where both were armed, with Joss reportedly seen carrying a crossbow.

Joss’ husband shared on a GoFundMe page, “Despite repeated reports of these threats to law enforcement, no actions were taken. During this period, we faced ongoing harassment from individuals who made it clear they did not approve of our relationship, much of which was overtly homophobic.”

“We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done,” Joss’ husband wrote on a GoFundMe page for . “Throughout that time, we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic.”

Alvarez allegedly admitted to killing Joss on the night of the slaying.

“We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired, Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life,” Joss’ husband told the Houston Chronicle.

The news outlet reported that residents made more than 70 complaints against Joss. They alleged Joss would make threats and carry pitchforks, tomahawks, and other weapons.

In addition to “King of the Hill,” Joss also had a recurring role on “Parks and Recreation.” Alvarez is currently free $200,000 bond.
