- Kern de Gonzales said there had been ongoing harassment and feuding with the suspect, including racist and homophobic abuse directed at Joss.
- However, San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) stated there is "no evidence" the murder was motivated by bigotry. Alvarez is now facing first-degree murder charges.
