Jonathan Joss, ‘King of the Hill’ voice actor, killed in San Antonio shooting

Jonathan Joss, the voice actor best known as John Redcorn from “King of the Hill,” was killed in a San Antonio shooting on Sunday, police said.

A suspect, 56-year-old Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, was taken into custody and booked on a murder charge, the San Antonio Police Department said.

Officers were dispatched to Dorsey Drive around 7 p.m. Saturday for a shooting and arrived to find the actor, whose legal name is Jonathan Joss Gonzales, near the roadway after he was shot, police said.

Authorities attempted life-saving measures until EMS arrived and pronounced Joss, 59, dead.

Joss was the voice of John Redcorn in the Fox animated series from seasons 2 through 13. John Redcorn was a “New Age healer” and masseur, who was always addressed by his full name or “Mr. Redcorn.”

A new season of “King of the Hill” revival is set to debut on Hulu in August. In a credit sequence shared Friday, John Redcorn is seen driving by in his classic tan Jeep.

Joss also played Ken Hotate in “Parks and Recreation” and had roles in “Tulsa King” and the 2016 remake of “The Magnificent Seven.”

His most recent acting credit was in 2023 for voicing a character in the “Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty” video game.

Joss’s family home in San Antonio family home was destroyed in a fire in January. An online fundraiser stated three of his dogs had been killed in the fire and raised more than $10,000.

Joss told local reporters then that he did not have a job.

Representatives and family of Joss could not immediately be reached for comment.
