Cynthia Nixon addresses fatal shooting of Jonathan Joss

Cynthia Nixon has recently expressed her sadness over the loss of Jonathan Joss, who was allegedly shot and killed in San Antonio on June 1.

The Sex and the City actress shared a post to Instagram on June 3, revealing she was “devastated” after finding out that Jonathan was fatally shot.

Describing him as a “wonderfully talented actor and musician,” Cynthia mentioned that she and her family were big fans of Parks and Recreation.

In the caption, the actress wrote, “He and his husband had been repeatedly harassed and worse by homophobic neighbors who recently burned their house to the ground.”

“The men were collecting mail at their old address when a former neighbour came at them shouting homophobic hate and shot Jonathan to death,” pointed out the Gilded Age actress.

Nixon added that Jonathan died protecting the person he loved, adding, “His husband says he would also have been shot had Jonathan not pushed him out of the way.”

In the end, Cynthia called out San Antonio authorities to take action against the perpetrators.

“The San Antonio police force is saying there is no evidence that this was a hate crime, ‘We will not let this stand,’” she concluded.

For the unversed, Jonathan, who was of Native American ancestry, was also known for his voice role as John Redcorn in King of the Hill, which aired in the late ‘90s and early 2000s.
