Texas man indicted on murder charge in shooting of 'King of the Hill' voice actor Jonathan Joss
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.
Joss’ husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, has claimed the person who killed the actor yelled “violent homophobic slurs” before opening fire.
Ceja Alvarez’s attorneys did not immediately return emails seeking comment Wednesday.

It's a textbook definition of a hate crime
Yes, but Texas.
The ol Texas loophole.
If my city's taught me anything, it's that San Antonio is way more willing to accept violence than people. Too many fucking nazis here to call it a hate crime.
And Luigi isn’t out on bond?
What the fuck, you can murder someone and get out on bond? This motherfucker could flee or kill someone else.
. . . . Right. And he’s killing (probably) random people on the street. Whereas Luigi gets no bond and he is accused of a targeted crime, and would be unlikely to “repeat”
Well Luigi is innocent, so doesn't compare. But I agree bullshit Luigi gets no bond and this psychopath is allowed to walk free.
Yes of course, innocent. I agree. So did my money. I should’ve said accused!
he killed an aristocrat, they are trying to make an example of him. Also they are trying to keep it under wraps so the public forgets about luigi.
Absolutely a hate crime. Killer also burned his fucking house down a while before killing him
Iirc also
likedkilled their dog? It's been a while since I read the initial article.... that has to be autocorrect, right?
Yeah. He killed their dog.
Damn, it fucking got me. Yes, killed their dog.
Finally
Finally, what?
Indictment for murder. It's been so long I thought they might let him get away with some self defense bullshit.
You think maybe he burned the guys house down too?
I would not be surprised, it's certainly convenient for him that the neighbors he despises had their house burn down.
He should have caught the aggravated assault charge for shooting at Joss' husband too. Bexar county though.
