A police spokesman disputed Mr. Kern de Gonzales’s account about what had motivated the attack.
“Our investigation has found no evidence whatsoever to indicate that the Mr. Joss’s murder was related to his sexual orientation,” the spokesman said in a statement. “We take such allegations very seriously and have thoroughly reviewed all available information. Should any new evidence come to light, we will charge the suspect accordingly.”
Meanwhile, the 'husband' of the deceased, who calls herself Tristan but whose real name is Lindsey, has posted a Facebook message suggesting that the earlier house fire was set by "homophobes" in the community (even though they had already admitted that it was their own fault).
Furthermore, she claims that a neighbor was so outraged by seeing a man and a woman together, that he shouted slurs at them, went away to take a gun and shot him dead as he pushed her out of the way. Why pushing her out the way would save her from a guy with a gun was not explained.
Naturally, Redditors are eating this up, and blaming Trump for it. They are repeatedly citing the Facebook post by Lindsey and repeating it as Gospel truth. Sober voices are drowned out and reportedly banned. Anyone pointing out his erratic behavior, mental illness and possible drug addiction is downvoted to hell.
This is 100% a hate crime. Not only for being gay, but for being a native American too, I imagine. Just, so much hate, both reasons being reasonable to assume. [+59]
Sure, why not tack that on as well?
He already endured and suffered and struggled so much and then finding skulls of his animals and then being shot in front of his partner who was there for him and his companion. ITS SICK AND HORRIBLE [+21]
All for being gay. It's 2025. We are regressing as a society. I don't want to politicize things but it seems like ever since 2017 hate has been everywhere. [+67]
But his husband just posted a Facebook status clarifying that their neighbors in San Antonio were racist and homophobic and threatened their safety numerous times, specifically threatening to burn their house down. Then they went to the property to check the mail and found the skull of their dead dog in the mailbox. That's what started the argument and ended with Jonathan being murdered. [+36]
Now racism is involved. You can see the tale grow by the comment.

How many of these have had had now? They don't learn to take their time. It's time to hold people who spread such hoaxes accountable (in a legal manner).
This is near peak clown world.
Joss is gay when he fucks a vagina.
His "husband" has a vagina and chin pubes and is a totally valid man.
His neighbor (hispanic) can't stand seeing two men together, and he kills out of homophobia and hatred of native americans.
Joss burned down his house (that was disconnected from gas and electricity) by leaving a grill ignited inside. Oh the irony if it was propane...Hank Hill would be shaking his head.
Anyway, Joss burned down his house, killed his dogs, apparently left their bodies just laying around, admitted all of this to the newspaper, but because his pooner girlfriend claims the neighbors committed hatecrimes, now it's not their fault.
It's just so fucking crazy.
Take your upvote.
Excuse me, there are men who can't grow beards, like Njall. That doesn't make them any less valid as a man. The fact that HE can grow chin pubes already makes HIM more of a man than those so called men.
It's the fault of Trump, Musk and Putin, who emboldened his neighbor to attack him and his HUSBAND with their non-stop hatemongering against the queer community.
Don't be ableist against the neurodiverse.
