Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection to Joss's death; his bond is set at $200,000.
The shooting occurred after a dispute with a neighbor near Joss's former home, which had burned down in February, killing his three dogs.
Joss's husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, said his husband “pushed me out of the way” and “saved my life” when the shooting began.
Gonzalez claimed the shooting was a homophobic hate crime, stating they had received threats and faced harassment; however, police say there is no evidence to support this claim so far.
