King of the Hill star Jonathan Joss has died aged 59 after a neighbor fatally shot him during an argument, police have said.
The actor appeared in numerous TV shows, including Parks and Recreation, Ray Donovan and Tulsa King, but his most well-known role was that of John Redcorn on the long-running and popular cartoon show.
According to San Antonio Police, Joss is said to have gotten into a dispute with his neighbor, Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, on Sunday (June 1), which led to Alvarez, 56, shooting Joss.
Variety reports that police were called to respond to a shooting on Sunday at around 7pm, where they found the 59-year-old at the side of the road after being shot numerous times. He was later pronounced dead at the scene.
Alvarez was taken into custody shortly after the incident and has since been charged with murder, the San Antonio Police Department confirmed on Monday (June 2).
Police have not yet revealed what led to the disagreement; however, Joss's husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, has since taken to Facebook to share his version of events.
He wrote: "Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired, Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.
"Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day.
"We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future."
Kern de Gonzales had previously described the incident as a hate crime, claiming that the couple were allegedly harassed because they were gay.
He alleged: "He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired."
