Jonathan Joss, known for his role as Chief Ken Hotate in "Parks and Recreation," was fatally shot in Texas. His "Parks and Recreation" co-stars Nick Offerman and Chris Pratt expressed their grief. Joss's husband alleges the murder was a homophobic hate crime, a claim denied by police. The investigation is ongoing, and Joss's suspected killer, Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, has been charged with first-degree murder. Prior to his death, Joss was reportedly escorted from a "King of the Hill" panel at a festival.
