The suspect in King of the Hill star Jonathan Joss’ death has posted bail and is now out of jail. Charged with first-degree murder, Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, 56, was released from police custody one day after his arrest when he posted a $200,000 “special condition bond,” according to records obtained by People magazine. The court has placed Alvarez on full house arrest and has restricted his ability to purchase, possess, or use any firearms. A judge additionally issued a no-contact order, though it’s unclear to whom it applies, People adds. A pre-indictment hearing is slated to take place in August. Joss was shot and killed Sunday at his San Antonio property following an altercation with a neighbor. He was pronounced dead by authorities at the scene. Police records indicate that Alvarez allegedly confessed to the crime while being detained. Joss’ husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, claimed in a statement Monday that his partner was “murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.” The San Antonio Police Department subsequently disclosed that their investigation had “found no evidence whatsoever” that Joss’ “murder was related to his sexual orientation.”
