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.

    Too bad there had to be an argument or disagreement…

    …about whether the victim(s) crying over their dead dog in front of their burned down house deserved to live?

    I wonder what the chances are that the fire, the dog skull, and the murder were all the same shithead.

      Very high. And he’s probably buddies with the homophobic cops who dismissed years of reports of the threats to do those three things. And the same cops who have already “determined” that there was no hate crime.

      Although I don’t think those cops have realized yet that he was on other popular shows like Parks and Rec as well. And famous people are speaking out. Meaning there will be a lot more scrutiny and they can’t just shrug and sweep it under the rug this time.

      I’m now seeing firsthand why folks across the pond keep making snarky comments about The Independent being a Tory tag…
