HOUSTON (AP) — A grand jury in Texas has indicted the man accused of killing “King of the Hill” voice actor Jonathan Joss on a murder charge.
But it is unclear whether Joss’ killing will be considered a hate crime. Police in San Antonio did not immediately return an email seeking comment Wednesday on whether its investigation had determined that Joss’ sexual orientation played a role in his shooting, and the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office declined to comment on the matter.
Police allege Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, 57, confronted Joss and his husband on June 1 as they were checking their mail at their San Antonio home, which had been burned down in January.
Took long enough holy shit
Took their time on this one.
Right! About fucking time.
One guy is a murderer, the other is gay. It was probably a hard decision
I met Joss the day before his murder. He was kind, funny and it was very apparent that he loved his fans.
Had his sexual orientation been different, would the crime have still happened?
when this happened there was this really weird backlash claiming Joss was actually a secret weirdo who needlessly harassed his neighbors. I never heard anything more about this, and it always felt like a very racist bullshit attack to me. Anyone have some insight on this?
Anyone have some insight on this?
Yes. It was racist bullshit.
What a tragedy. Joaquin Phoenix has had a rough year.
