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.

    This only applies if you’re white. If you’re brown while protecting yourself legally armed and the police show up you die

      If you’re brown and nearby when some white folk get into it, you have a very high chance of “fitting a description” and either being arrested anyway or shot “while reaching for a gun” when you put your hands in the air.

      That’s part of why I left. I’m a neurodivergent trans Latina in an obviously gay relationship. If I try to defend myself I’m gonna die one way or the other, assuming the lack of healthcare doesn’t kill me first
