Man accused of killing ‘King of the Hill’ voice actor Jonathan Joss is released on bond
The man accused of shooting and killing Jonathan Joss, the actor who voiced John Redcorn on “King of the Hill,” is out on bond, according to local reports.
Update: the 59 year old suspect Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez turned himself to the police station this Monday past. That same night, he posted $200,000 bond for bail and he is currently on house arrest until the next trial in August.
Now we learn some strange happenings before the Murder?
"The puzzle pieces of Jonathan Joss' final days are coming together.
Just two days before the King of the Hill actor was shot and killed at the age of 59 on Sunday, June 1, in San Antonio, Texas, he was escorted out of a panel for the iconic animated series at the Paramount Theatre as part of the ATX TV Festival on Friday, May 30, in Austin, Texas.
While the panel was in full swing, Joss stood up and approached the microphone set up for the Q&A portion of the event, which had not begun yet, an eyewitness in the audience tells PEOPLE. The onlooker says security guards came out at this time.
The eyewitness says audience members "laughed nervously in the crowd" and that King of the Hill co-creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels didn't seem alarmed while others appeared "a bit worried or uncomfortable."
"It seemed he did get a little emotional while he spoke, but mostly he was calm and he just needed to say his piece," the onlooker adds of Joss.
"I'm an actor," Joss said in a fan-captured video of the moment. "I see a mic, I use it. I see a wrong, I make it right. I take a breath, I want to breathe." Joss later revealed to the attendees that his house had burned down three months prior, seemingly indicating it was a hate crime as he said it was "because I'm gay." He was then seen walking toward the stage and across the front row.
At one point in the video, Judge told the audience Joss played John Redcorn on King of the Hill and was returning for the revival.
"As Joss moved away from the mic to go back to his seat, that's when security told him he had to leave and he exited the theater calmly and cooperatively," the onlooker says, adding that the panel got "back on track" after this.
