Jonathan Joss, an actor known for his roles in 'King of the Hill' and 'Parks and Recreation', was fatally shot outside his home in Texas. The suspect, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, is charged with murder. Joss's husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, alleged that the couple faced ongoing harassment and threats, often of a homophobic nature. On the day of the incident, de Gonzales recounted the emotional distress caused by discovering a deceased pet, which led to a confrontation with the assailant who reportedly shouted homophobic slurs before shooting Joss fatally.
"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."
"Jonathan and I had no weapons, 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."
