Murdered by his neighbor in what appears to be the culmination of a homophobic harassment campaign.
Statement from his husband on this reddit post -

Knowing Texas, the investigation will be slow-rolled and while we have a hate-crimes law on the books, it won't be pursued.
Sympathies to his husband and family.
You appear to have nailed it.
Quote:The San Antonio Police Department released a statement saying, "Our investigation has found no evidence whatsoever to indicate that the Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation."
Years of harassment and an eyewitness account that the shooter was yelling homophobic slurs just before killing Ross don't count as 'evidence', I suppose.
