King of the Hill voice actor Jonathan Joss has died aged 59 after a shooting in Texas, police have confirmed.

Joss was the voice of John Redcorn for seasons two through 13 of the popular animated series. He had reportedly recorded bits for the show’s reboot, which recently began production for Hulu and is slated to premiere in August.

The actor was reportedly shot multiple times over the weekend after a disagreement with a neighbor, according to TMZ. San Antonio police responded to a home after reports of shots fired and found Joss near the road with gunshot wounds, according to Variety.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

    Is it sad that my first suspicion is that it simply doesn’t meet the local legal definition of a hate crime because the laws are probably written to protect white people only?

        You still need a PD willing to gather, keep secure and submit evidence that portrays it as a hate crime. The detectives and LEO’s involved may be hiding statements, motives, physical evidence, etc, by simply not recording it as such.
