SAN ANTONIO, Texas (WJW) — Actor Jonathan Joss, widely recognized for his role as a voice actor in the animated series “King of the Hill,” has reportedly passed away following a shooting incident in Texas.

Nexstar’s KTLA reports that police were called to the shooting in San Antonio, Texas, at about 7 p.m. Sunday and found Joss lying “near the roadway.”

“The officers attempted life-saving measures until EMS arrived. EMS pronounced the victim deceased,” police said in a statement as reported by KTLA.

KTLA reported that police later detained Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, 56, who is believed to live in the area. It is not clear what led to the shooting.

As initially reported by TMZ and relayed by KTLA, the actor’s death occurred after a neighbor allegedly shot Joss during a disagreement, after which they drove away from the scene. KTLA mentioned that authorities have not been able to confirm if Joss and the shooter were actually neighbors.

Joss was known for his portrayal of John Redcorn in “King of the Hill.” His portfolio, as noted by the Internet Movie Database, also includes roles in “Abduction of the Fourth Kind” (2022), “The Magnificent Seven” (2016), and “The Forever Purge” (2021).
