Jonathan Joss Murder Case Delayed Again as Witness Interviews Continue

The judge set the next pretrial hearing for June 29.

Overview

  • Prosecutors told the judge Wednesday they are still evaluating the case and interviewing witnesses connected to the 2025 shooting.
  • Defense lawyers said they are waiting on more discovery from the state and have identified 40 to 60 witnesses to locate and question.
  • Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, 57, is charged with murder and remains free on a $200,000 bond set shortly after his June 2025 arrest.
  • Police say the June 1, 2025 shooting followed an argument outside Joss’s former home on Dorsey Drive, and an arrest report says Alvarez told officers at the scene, “I shot him.”
  • Court records show police were called to the property more than 60 times before the shooting for disturbances, welfare checks, and mental health-related calls, which helps explain the unusually large witness pool.
