San Antonio police apologized Thursday for their “premature” statement declaring there was no evidence of a hate crime in the murder of Jonathan Joss.
Joss, a voice actor known for playing John Redcorn in “King of the Hill,” was fatally shot Sunday outside his San Antonio home. His neighbor, 56-year-old Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, was arrested and booked on a murder charge in connection with the shooting, police said.
San Antonio Police said in a statement the following day that “despite online claims of this being a hate crime, currently the investigation has found no evidence to indicate that Mr. Joss’s murder was related to his sexual orientation.”
That statement sparked outrage and was rebutted by Joss’ husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, who believes his husband was killed for his sexual orientation.
Chief William P. McManus retracted the police statement on Thursday.
