King of the Hill and Parks and Rec actor shot dead

US actor Jonathan Joss has been shot dead in what his husband says was a homophobic hate crime, although police have said they have found no evidence of that.

Joss, 59, was known for voicing John Redcorn on long-running TV animation King of the Hill, and played Chief Ken Hotate in sitcom Parks and Recreation.

His husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales said a man "started yelling violent homophobic slurs" then opened fire when they were visiting their former home, which was destroyed in a fire in January.

Police in Texas said: "Despite online claims of this being a hate crime, currently the investigation has found no evidence to indicate that the Mr Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation."
