Big update: they bonded the fucking murderer out in under 3 days!!! Sigfred Ceja of 227 Dorsey Street, San Antonio, Tx 78221 is under house arrest.

Actor Jonathan Joss was just murdered for being gay and married to a trans man. On the first day of pride 2025. He was best known for playing John Redcorn on King of the Hill. He was proudly indigenous, often playing indigenous roles. He was Comanche and white mountain apache.

I had no idea he was gay but he was married to a trans man named Tristan Kern de Gonzales (on valentines day 2025!)

They lived in San Antonio Texas where his family is from and he grew up, originally in the house his father built in 1957. He was 59.

In Janurary 2025 his home was burned down which made news. It killed some of his beloved dogs. He didnt elaborate beyond he believed it was arson (gofundme is still up and i suggest donating to help his funeral costs and his husband

Update: de Gonzales says hes fine he just wants justice but i still think its nice)

Now we know he and his husband had been threatened by several neighbors for being queer. They told pigs, pigs being pigs did nothing before or after it happened.

Yesterday Joss and his husband went to check their mailbox wherein they found one of the skull of one of their dogs nearby (statement from his husband

)

As they weeped and mourned in shock, a neighbor, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, was sitting waiting with a shotgun on his porch. When yelled at he aimed at de Gonzales…but Joss jumped in front of the bullet and was almost instantly killed.

Ceja, homophobic murdering coward, tried to take off but de Gonzales had called pigs who vaguely tried to do something. He was arrested and his bail set for $200k. Or as my sister said who the fuck sets bail for a murderer?

San Antonio.

De Gonzales is clearly mourning, posting pics on Joss’ fb page. This one really struck me

This is why we need pride people, and not rainbow capitalism. Please donate to the gofundme and let san antonio cops knows what you think. De Gonzales said multiple neighbors had threatened them…id like to see those people investigated for arson.

Go into pride with rage and knowing. Have joy, kiss puppies, dont bow to homophobes. And maybe enjoy a little king of the hill.

UPDATE

Jonathan Joss’ husband Tristan kern de Gonzales identifies as trans on his facebook page.

Which explains the ramp up of hate and why the murderer shot at de Gonzales (Joss pushed him out of the way). So this is also a transphobia related murder

The media and pigs are breaking their backs to not say queer. The local bews segment was stunning in its washing of the motive. Good news tho: the gofundme is funded!!!

And i apologize if i didnt include enough info about Joss being indigenous. To me it was so obvious and i just typed this out in rage quickly. Im very glad and touched its spread so far and im really glad to see ppl correcting media online. But do not forget racism likely had a hand in his murder/harassment

Update day 2:

I covered some of the uglier deflections by people who want to write off Joss’ murder here

If you are disgusted hate crime was off the table in under 24hrs contact the district attorney, only they have that power now that trump has dismantled the federal hate crime unit

And a lovely follower (who didnt want ther name shared) sent me this

This is in San Antonio on June 8th, 2025. It honors both queerness and being indigenous

I added Jonathan’s story to friendofjims.com which i will keep updating as there will likely be more news

Kern de Gonzales has made a tiktok justiceforjoss
