Newlyweds Jonathan Joss and Tristan Kern de Gonzales held each other in their final moment together Sunday.

Joss, 59, the voice actor best known as John Redcorn on “King of the Hill,” had just been shot in the head in front of their San Antonio home.

"I didn't want him to struggle and everything, so I decided to tell him I loved him. And despite the severity of everything, he was able to look up at me and acknowledge what I was saying, so I know he heard me," said Kern de Gonzales, 32. "I just kept telling him: 'It's OK. You need to cross over. You don't need to keep struggling. You need to go ahead and cross over easy.'"

Kern de Gonzales said Joss' killer also had final words for the actor. He called him and his husband "jotos," a Spanish slur for gay people.

"I've been called that word while I was sitting on a bench with Jonathan, eating lunch," Kern de Gonzales said. "And I got called that holding Jonathan while he died."

Shortly after, police arrested one of the pair's neighbors, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, 56, in connection with Joss' killing.

Regarding whose property it was, it's likely debatable. From Kern de Gonzalez's post, it seems like they were living in a trailer park. Sometimes all the property outside the trailer itself technically belongs to the park management and is treated like a shared public area. There's all sorts of weird little jurisdictional technicalities that happen in trailer parks from what I've been told.

I thought the trailer park is where they live currently because the house burned down. I think in Tristan's post it was mentioned the the house was left to Joss by a grandparent.
