Famous voice actor killed in Texas shooting after argument with neighbor
Jonathan Joss, the voice of John Redcorn on the animated TV comedy “King of Hill,” was shot dead by a neighbor in Texas.
He was 59 years old.
Joss got into a argument with the neighbor, per TMZ, at his home in San Antonio Sunday night when the neighbor pulled out a gun and shot him several times.
Officers attempted life-saving measures until medics arrived, but Joss was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Variety.
The unnamed gunman then fled the scene in a vehicle but was arrested by police just a block from the residence.
TMZ later reported that Sigfredo Alvarez-Cega was arrested and charged with murder. Bond has been set at $200,000.
Joss also had a recurring role on “Parks and Recreation” as Chief Hatote.
