Jonathan Joss, a prominent actor recognized for his representation of Native American characters in film and television, was shot and killed at age 59 near his Texas home. The incident occurred during an encounter with a man who reportedly yelled homophobic slurs before opening fire. Joss's husband alleged that they had been victims of ongoing harassment, including threats and vandalism, which included the arson of their previous home. San Antonio police continue to investigate the incident without labeling it as a hate crime at this time.
We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.
The house growing up had been burned down and was vandalized while he and his partner were away. The fire reportedly killed three of Joss' dogs.
