Indigenous actor Jonathan Joss died in San Antonio earlier this month following a confrontation with his neighbor. Police had previously responded to dozens of calls and dozens of mental health checks to Joss’ residence. Joss, a member of the LGBTQ community, was also of Comanche and White Mountain Apache descent. Joss’s husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, called the murder an act of homophobia. San Antonio police originally said there was no evidence of a hate crime.
