Jonathan Joss' husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, shared a statement a day after the 'King of the Hill' star was fatally shot at his property in San Antonio, Texas during a dispute with a neighbor. Gonzales claimed he and Joss had been facing "years of threats" due to their sexuality and the shooting came after a spew of "violent homophobic slurs.

The San Antonio Police Department is walking back statements made while investigating the death of actor Jonathan Joss, noting that it had been premature to say there was “no evidence” the shooting was a hate crime.
