Details Emerge in Murder of 'King of the Hill' Voice Actor

New details are emerging following the tragic death of Jonathan Joss, the King of the Hill voice actor who was fatally shot Sunday in San Antonio, TX following a heated argument with his neighbor. Joss was 59.

As first reported by TMZ, Joss and Sigfredo Alvarez-Cega had been at each other's throats for years. But what actually set Joss off on the night in question was seeing the skeleton of one of his three dogs killed in a fire that destroyed his home. The home had recently burned to the ground after Joss used a BBQ pit to heat the home.

TMZ reports that Joss seeing his beloved dog's skeleton set him into a rage, leading to him screaming at anyone in his direction. Apparently that led to an altercation with Alvarez-Cega, whom he had been beefing with for years. The altercation allegedly led Alvarez-Cega to retrieve gun at home before returning to Joss' location and fatally shooting him.

The neighbor reportedly jumped in a car and fled the scene. Police responded to a shooting in progress and ultimately arrested Alvarez-Cega mere blocks from his residence. Joss was pronounced dead shortly after.

Alvarez-Cega has since been charged with murder and his bail's been set at $200,000. A GoFundMe has been set up on Joss' behalf.

Joss had a distinguished voice acting career. He lent his voice for John Redcorn's character on King of the Hill. Redcorn was a Native American healer who has an affair with Dale Gribble's wife, Nancy Hicks-Gribble. 

Joss also acted on the big and small screen, with roles in Showtime's Ray Donovan, Paramount+'s Tulsa King and films like The Magnificent Seven.
