FATAL DISPUTE

‘King of the Hill’ Voice Actor Shot to Death at 59

His neighbor allegedly shot him several times before fleeing the scene and is now charged with murder.

King of the Hill voice actor Jonathan Joss was shot to death Sunday night, authorities say. Joss, 59, was shot multiple times after an alleged confrontation with his neighbor, Sigfredo Alvarez-Cega, in San Antonio, Texas, according to San Antonio police. When police arrived at the scene, Joss had already been hit, and he was pronounced dead after paramedics tried to save him. Alvarez-Cega was arrested a block away from the scene of the crime, and has been charged with murder, with his bond set at $200,000. Joss voiced John Redcorn in King of the Hill from Season 2 through 13 of the show, replacing voice actor Victor Aaron, who died in a car accident in 1996. Joss had already voiced his newest Redcorn lines for the forthcoming King of the Hill revival before his death. Joss also played Chief Ken Hotate in Parks and Recreation and acted in shows like Tulsa King and movies including The Magnificent Seven. Season 14 of King of the Hill premieres in early August on Hulu and Disney+.
