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.

    You are calling people out about assumptions, and saying Joss was “acting erratically” and I would like to point out that you don’t know that his “erratic” behaviour wasn’t in response to anything, nor who may have incited him to act that way.

    Just because he didn’t point the finger at someone for one crime or another, doesn’t mean he did it either. He may have been covering for someone to either save face or avoid escalation.

    I’m not saying I know either, and that’s my point. You see some reports and news stories and you’ve drawn conclusions and made assumptions based on that without really knowing if any of the assumptions you made are correct.

    The only person who really knew is dead now, at the hands of someone who clearly had issues getting along with him.

    This argument is stupid. They might not know but neither do you.
