King of the Hill voice actor Jonathan Joss has died aged 59 after a shooting in Texas, police have confirmed.

Joss was the voice of John Redcorn for seasons two through 13 of the popular animated series. He had reportedly recorded bits for the show’s reboot, which recently began production for Hulu and is slated to premiere in August.

The actor was reportedly shot multiple times over the weekend after a disagreement with a neighbor, according to TMZ. San Antonio police responded to a home after reports of shots fired and found Joss near the road with gunshot wounds, according to Variety.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

    I’m just pointing out the pre-programmed assumptions people make. Nobody knows anything about the shooter yet they are certain he’s a racist even though it’s never mentioned once anywhere while homophobia was called out multiple times. It’s less about racism and more about jumping to conclusions. Somehow no one is picking up on that.

        It has nothing to do with this story. It has to do with making assumptions. It could have been an article about anything else where people confidently proclaim something with absolutely no evidence. How you still don’t understand that is mind boggling.

          He doesn’t deserve the effort you’re putting in. You’re splitting hairs about what sort of piece of shit he is.

              It looks to me like you can excuse years of harassment, arson, the thing with the dog skull, the slurs, and the murder, but draw the line at calling a piece of shit a racist.
