A Texas grand jury has indicted a man in connection with the June murder of Jonathan Joss, known for his role in “King of the Hill,” the Houston Chronicle reported on Monday.

According to reports, Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, 57, faces charges for allegedly shooting the 57-year-old actor outside Joss’ former residence in San Antonio. Authorities say the incident followed an argument between the two men, during which Alvarez is accused of retrieving a gun and firing multiple shots at Joss.

After the shooting, Alvarez reportedly fled the scene, leaving Joss lying on the roadway. Joss was discovered there and later pronounced dead.

Local residents told KENS that Joss had lived in the neighborhood for some time, but his house had been destroyed by fire several months prior to the incident. Despite this, he continued to visit the area to collect his mail.

Neighbors also reported that Joss and Alvarez had an ongoing conflict, which sometimes involved weapons. They mentioned seeing Joss armed with a crossbow during these disputes.

“We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done,” Joss’ husband wrote on a GoFundMe page for . “Throughout that time, we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic.”

Alvarez allegedly admitted to killing Joss on the night of the slaying.

“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,” Joss’ husband told the Houston Chronicle.

The news outlet reported that residents made more than 70 complaints against Joss. They alleged Joss would make threats and carry pitchforks, tomahawks, and other weapons.

In addition to “King of the Hill,” Joss also had a recurring role on “Parks and Recreation.” Alvarez is currently free $200,000 bond.
