Jonathan Joss, known for voicing John Redcorn in King of the Hill, has tragically died at the age of 59. He was shot and killed on June 1 in San Antonio, Texas. Police responded to a shooting around 7 p.m. and found Joss lying near the roadway. Despite attempts to save him, he was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene. Authorities later arrested 56-year-old Sigfredo Alvarez Cejam, identified as Joss’s neighbor, who had driven away from the scene.
