Voice actor Jonathan Joss, best known for portraying the voice of John Redcorn on the long-running animated comedy “King of the Hill,” died from a fatal gunshot wound in San Antonio on Sunday night. He was 59 at the time of his death.

According to early reports, Joss died after getting into a fight with his neighbor, who allegedly then pulled out a gun and shot him several times, per TMZ. The gunman is then reported to have gotten into a vehicle and fled the scene.

San Antonio police confirmed that the suspect was captured a block from the scene of the accident. Officers detained 56-year-old Sigfredo Alvarez Cejam, who has been booked for murder. The investigation is ongoing.

The paramedics responded and tried to revive Joss, but they were ultimately unsuccessful, the outlet noted.

The actor’s death occurred just two days after he attended the 2025 ATX TV Festival in Austin, Texas, with other “King of the Hill” cast members. Joss last shared an Instagram post of himself walking around Austin and noting how the show’s “reboot is up and moving,” as People noted.

Joss took over for the original actor, Victor Arron, for season 3 of the series after Arron died in a car accident in 1996.

The “King of the Hill” reboot is slated to premiere on Hulu in August and had already started recording, the outlet noted.

Joss also appeared in other popular shows such as “Parks and Recreation,” “Tulsa King,” “Ray Donovan,” “True Grit,” “The Magnificent Seven,” and others.
