Hours later, the San Antonio police department posted on X, writing, “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.” An investigation remains ongoing.

The 59-year-old actor, best known as the voice of John Redcorn in the hit animated series, died Sunday, police said.

A neighbor in San Antonio who opened fire on the actor during a dispute was charged with murder, the authorities said. Mr. Joss also appeared in “Parks and Recreation.”
