“King of the Hill” Voice Actor Jonathan Joss Killed in Texas Shooting
Tragic Incident in San Antonio
Jonathan Joss, best known for his role as John Redcorn in the acclaimed animated series "King of the Hill," was fatally shot in San Antonio, Texas, on Sunday. The 59-year-old actor was found by local police with multiple gunshot wounds. Authorities have arrested 56-year-old Sigfredo Alvarez, who was apprehended just a block from the scene of the crime.
Allegations of Previous Feud
Residents in the neighborhood, where Joss had lived for several years, reported an ongoing feud between the actor and Alvarez. This altercation reportedly involved confrontations where both men were seen armed, with Joss frequently carrying a crossbow. The nature of their conflict remains under investigation.
“They had issues for a while now; this is terrible,” a neighbor commented, expressing shock at the violence that erupted.
Fire and Loss
Joss’s troubles began months prior when his home was deemed uninhabitable by the city, leading to the shutdown of his utilities. As a makeshift solution, he used a BBQ pit for heating purposes, which ultimately resulted in a fire that destroyed his home. In an emotional moment recounted earlier, Joss described walking out of the blaze carrying one of his deceased dogs while feeling ridiculed by a neighbor.
Following the fire incident, reports indicate that Joss had returned to the property to collect a check from a victim’s fire fund, which may have coincided with the fatal confrontation.

Sigfredo Alvarez is currently being held on a $200,000 bond. He faces serious charges, although the specific charges have not yet been disclosed. The investigation is ongoing, as locals seek answers regarding the circumstances that led to this tragic event.
Community Mourning
The community has expressed its deep sorrow over Joss’s untimely death. In addition to his iconic voice role in “King of the Hill,” he also had a recurring part in the hit series “Parks and Recreation,” showcasing his talent across different platforms.
As more information comes to light, both fans and residents of San Antonio are grappling with the loss of a familiar face in their neighborhood.
