‘King of the Hill' voice actor fatally shot: Reports
According to multiple reports, the 59-year-old was allegedly shot by a neighbor.
Nexstar's KTLA reports that police were called to the shooting in San Antonio, Texas, at about 7 p.m. Sunday and found Joss lying 'near the roadway.'
'The officers attempted life-saving measures until EMS arrived. EMS pronounced the victim deceased,' police said in a statement, as reported by KTLA.
KTLA reported that police later detained Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, 56, who is believed to live in the area, and charged him with murder.
TMZ was among the first outlets to report the death, citing sources who said a neighbor fired at Joss after a dispute, then fled the scene in his car. KTLA said law enforcement couldn't confirm whether Ceja and Joss were neighbors.
Joss' partner Tristan Kern de Gonzales offered more details on social media Monday afternoon, claiming that he and Joss had returned to the site of their home, which had burned down, to check the mail when they were attacked. De Gonzalez further alleged that the house caught fire after some of their neighbors made threats to burn it down, but neighbors who spoke with TMZ claimed Joss himself accidentally burned the home while attempting to use a BBQ pit to heat the residence.
'That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire,' de Gonzales claimed on Facebook. 'We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done.'
He said he and Joss were 'harassed regularly' by people who 'made it clear' they did not support the couple's relationship. 'Much of the harassment was openly homophobic,' de Gonzales wrote.
At the home, he said in the post, the couple found the skull and harness of one of their dogs 'placed in clear view.'
'This caused both of us severe emotional distress,' de Gonzales wrote. 'We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw.'
De Gonzales claimed that's when they were approached by a man directing 'violent homophobic slurs' at them. He said the man fired a gun, and Joss pushed de Gonzales out of the way.
'He saved my life,' de Gonzales said of Joss.
'He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other,' de Gonzales wrote. He said neither he nor Joss was armed, adding, 'We were not threatening anyone.'
He said now he is focusing on 'protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together.'
Joss provided the voice of John Redcorn in 'King of the Hill.' According to Internet Movie Database, he was also known for his work in 'Abduction of the Fourth Kind' (2022), 'The Magnificent Seven' (2016) and 'The Forever Purge' (2021).

Pete Davidson Talks Girlfriend Elsie Hewitt's Pregnancy
Pete Davidson spoke for the first time about news that he's about to become a father. Last week, his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt confirmed that she's pregnant after TMZ first reported the news. The comedian was first publicly linked to the model and actor back in March. At the premiere of his upcoming horror movie The Home, Pete spoke with reporters about everything that's been going on. When asked what kind of father he hopes to be by Entertainment Tonight, Pete replied, "I honestly couldn't be more excited." "As you know, it's been my dream forever, since I was a little kid. The baby's mother is one of my favorite people to ever exist, ever. She's going to be a great mom. I'm just stoked. I hope to be the dad that I hope that I would have," he added. Pete further told E! News that fellow SNL dads Colin Jost and Adam Sandler had given him some advice: "Everyone's just been super excited for me, because they know it's been my dream and they all just have been like, 'You're going to be great at this. It's the best thing that you'll ever do in your life.'" As for what part of fatherhood he's looking forward to, Pete alluded to his own dad, a firefighter who died on 9/11. "Just being able to take care of something and show it the childhood that I didn't have," he explained. As for how he knew Elsie was "the one," he said, "It was very apparent. We both met through mutual friends who were just like, 'You guys should meet,' and then we met. We weren't really looking for anything and we immediately were just like, 'Oh, wow.'" "I would say she's female me and I'm male her,' he concluded. 'We just laugh all day."

Kim Kardashian Shocks Fans With Barely-There Waist in Latest Look
Kim Kardashian is no stranger to turning heads with bold fashion risks. The brunette bombshell, 44, has once again shocked fans with a risqué look that highlights her famous curves and attenuates her tiny waistline. She donned a vintage Thierry Mugler black corset bodysuit in her latest Instagram photoshoot from July 22, captioning the masterpiece, "Mugler Magic." The reality mogul also shared a photo of a red-headed model rocking the look on the runway, which took place at a 1998 fashion show in Paris, per TMZ. Fans expressed their praise for Kardashian in the comments, with one writing, "One of the most iconic Mugler outfits." Another said, "Kim looking gorgeous. I love." "What's the waist size? I just need to know for reference," a third asked. However, others expressed their concern over the outfit's tight fit, with one fan commenting, "Slay diva but can you breathe?!" "The proportions look soooooo wonky and off," another said. This is not the first time the middle Kardashian sister has wowed in a tight-fitting corset. The reality megastar stunned with her hip-hugging gown and barely-there waist at the 2024 Met Gala in New York City. In a May 7, 2024 Instagram post featuring the waist-defying look, she wrote, in part, "Magical dreams do come true at the Met." Despite some controversy, the uber-successful entrepreneur has continued to push the barrier when it comes to fashion. On June 26, she shared an array of images from a Skims and Cavalli photoshoot, featuring Kris Jenner. The mother-daughter duo sported matching bold patterns, while Kardashian rocked a blonde wig that sat on top of her visible natural hair. Some took to the comments to express their confusion over the wig, with one writing, "Why the falling off wig." Another asked, "Kim why is the wig surfing on your head ?! Please go glue [it] down." However, other fans praised the look, calling it "iconic." "Both look super gorgeous," another wrote. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved
