What we know about fatal shooting of King of the Hill actor Jonathan Joss
Loading
'We may have lost our home, but not our hope. We're moving forward with love, humour, and a little elbow grease … and we're incredibly grateful for every ounce of support,' Joss said in a May 14 Facebook post in which he indicated he was in Los Angeles looking for a new home.
By the end of May, Joss was back in Texas, and on Saturday, he took part in a live music performance in Austin, about 130 kilometres north-east of San Antonio.
Who is accused of fatally shooting Joss?
Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, 56, is accused by police of confronting Joss and his husband as they were checking their mail at the burnt-down home on Sunday night.
In a statement, Gonzales alleged that when Alvarez opened fire, Joss pushed his husband out of the way and saved his life.
Alvarez was charged with murder. Court records indicate he was freed on Monday on a $200,000 ($309,000) bond.
Robert Rios, a friend of Joss', told TV station KSAT that Joss and Alvarez were neighbours and the two had argued for years.
How is Joss being remembered by friends, actors?
Actor Chris Pratt, who worked with Joss on Parks and Recreation, fondly remembered the actor in an Instagram story. Both actors had also appeared in the 2016 remake of The Magnificent Seven.
'Damn. RIP Jonathan. Always such a kind dude,' Pratt wrote. 'Sad to see. Prayers up. Hug your loved ones.'

‘Disbelief and pain': Family's heartache after teen tradie dies in backflip accident in lounge room
A teenage tradie has died after suffering horror head injuries from a backflip accident in his new apartment - with his family remembering the 'beautiful' young man. Tributes are flowing for Sonny John Orlando Blundell, 18, after he suffered a major accident last Friday when he hit his head during a celebration at his new apartment in Queensland. Mr Blundell had been performing a backflip when he hit his head. He had just moved to the Sunshine State from the NSW Central Coast to start a new life with his girlfriend, where he had been offered a concreting job. Mr Blundell's sister Izabella Cromack-Hay told The Courier Mail that she had Facetimed him on the day he hit his head. 'He hit his head in the lounge room on the ground and had a headache went to bed, woke up went to the toilet vomiting and then passed out that's when his best friend found him unresponsive in the morning,' she said. Mr Blundell was left in a coma in the Queensland Hospital Intensive Care Unit, fighting the brain injury. In a GoFundMe organised by his sister she said that Mr Blundell had been 'fighting this battle' as much as he could, but in an update on Tuesday she confirmed he had died in hospital, surrounded by his family and loved ones. The crowd-funding page has raised over $23,000, with proceeds going towards bringing Mr Blundell home and organising his funeral. 'I ask everyone to still support our family as we need to bring Sonny home as his sisters are waiting for him,' Ms Cromack-Hay wrote on the page. 'We are all here in Queensland trying our hardest to organize this horrible time and prepare ourselves. 'We are all in disbelief and major pain.' Tributes for the teenager flowed on social media, including from his mother Madeline Blundell who wrote: 'I'll bring you home my boy, my love, my soul and my heart, my best friend and my shoulder to laugh with and cry. 'I miss you so much my baby. Ma is here.'
