A grand jury in Texas has indicted the man accused of killing King of the Hill voice actor Jonathan Joss on a murder charge.

But it is unclear whether Joss killing will be considered a hate crime. Police in San Antonio did not immediately return an email seeking comment Wednesday on whether its investigation had determined that Joss' sexual orientation played a role in his shooting, and the Bexar County District Attorneys Office declined to comment on the matter.

Police allege Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, 57, confronted Joss and his husband on June 1 as they were checking their mail at their San Antonio home, which had been burned down in January.

Joss husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, has claimed the person who killed the actor yelled violent homophobic slurs before opening fire.
