The husband of Jonathan Joss said the San Antonio shooting that killed the “King of the Hill” voice actor was a homophobic attack.
Tristan Kern de Gonzales said he and Joss were checking the mail at their former Texas home, which had been targeted in a previous arson attack, when they were approached by a man who “started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us”.
“He then raised a gun from his lap and fired,” Kern de Gonzales said in a post on Joss’s Facebook page.
“Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.”
Joss, 59, was shot dead at around 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Police arrested Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, 56, and charged him with murder over the shooting.
