0:00.0 | You're now seeing conflicting reports around the killing of Jonathan Joss, and it's got the internet divided. |
0:04.8 | We're now seeing pride abandoned by big corporations. We just got a crazy plot twist in the national news of a guy who was accused of threatening to kill Trump. |
0:11.6 | And you've got a scandal growing around Trump's new FEMA head who told staff he didn't know there was a hurricane season. |
0:17.0 | We're talking about all that and much more on today's brand new Philip DeFranco show you daily dive into the news, starting with this. |
0:23.9 | Was actor Jonathan Joss just killed in a homophobic hate crime? |
0:27.5 | That is what many people are asking and claiming after he was just shot dead outside of his home in San Antonio on Sunday after an altercation with a neighbor who reportedly was apprehended soon after. |
0:36.5 | And Joss, if you don't know, he's best known for his roles in King of the Hill and Parks and Rec, |

1:16.9 | our investigation has found no evidence whatsoever to indicate that Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation. |
1:22.9 | Should any new evidence come to light, we will charge the suspect accordingly. |
1:26.1 | And so with that, as it turns out, |
1:30.9 | according to reports, is this is not the first time the couple has had issues with the neighbors. |
1:35.3 | With Tristan, even making it seem like their recently burned down home was possibly because of arson. |
1:39.3 | With them writing, that home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire.
