  • The fatal shooting of actor Jonathan Joss, known for King of the Hill and Parks and Recreation, was a hate crime, his husband Tristan Kern de Gonzalez alleges.
  • In an exclusive interview with The Independent, Kern de Gonzalez has recounted holding Joss as he died while the suspect, Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, allegedly laughed and made homophobic remarks.
  • Kern de Gonzales said there had been ongoing harassment and feuding with the suspect, including racist and homophobic abuse directed at Joss.
  • However, San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) stated there is "no evidence" the murder was motivated by bigotry. Alvarez is now facing first-degree murder charges.
  • Kern de Gonzalez has alleged police “ignored us” and refused to file reports for two years after the couple complained about harassment.
