The man allegedly responsible for fatally shooting “King of the Hill” voice actor Jonathan Joss is behind bars, The Post can confirm.
The suspect, Sigfredo Alvarez-Ceja, was taken into custody in Texas on Sunday, June 1, at 7:05 p.m., online records show.
He has been charged with felony first-degree murder, and his bond was set at $200K.
The Post is told that his court date is scheduled for August.
Joss — known for playing the voice character John Redcorn on “King of the Hill” — was shot and killed by his neighbor, believed to be Alvarez-Ceja, on Sunday following an alleged altercation.
Law enforcement claimed the neighbor pulled out a gun and shot Joss several times before fleeing the scene in a vehicle, according to TMZ.
Officers responded to a call about a shooting in progress.
By the time paramedics got to Joss and provided him with medical assistance, it was too late. The actor was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect was captured a block away from the residence, reported the outlet.
While officers are still trying to determine the motive behind the fatal shooting, neighbors told TMZ that Joss and Alvarez-Ceja have a long history of feuding and have allegedly been locked in verbal and physical fights in the past.
In this instance, Joss’ neighbors said his home burned down in February after he allegedly used a BBQ pit to heat it when his power was shut off.
On Sunday, the neighbors claimed the actor returned to his house to collect a victim’s fire fund check and found the skeleton of one of his beloved dogs that died in the fire.
The image allegedly sent Joss into a rage, with eyewitnesses claiming he started yelling at anyone who crossed his path, including Alvarez-Ceja, who lived two doors down.
According to Joss’ neighbors, his rants were not uncommon. They claimed the police had been called on the actor several times before his house went up in flames earlier this year.
They also alleged that Joss would often do weird things like bang pans from his rooftop in the middle of the night.
Before the fire, Joss’ home was allegedly deemed unsafe and uninhabitable — which, they claim, is why his power was shut off.
The Post found a GoFundMe was started for Joss following the fire, which raised $10,721 for the actor.
The page also revealed that his father built the home for his mother in 1957, and three of his dogs died in the blaze.
Besides voicing John Redcorn on the popular Fox sitcom, Joss starred as Chief Hatote in “Parks and Recreation.” He also had short stints on shows like “Ray Donovan” and “Friday Night Lights.”
He was 59 years old.
