Source? The report I saw said he used a barbecue indoors but that it was turned off and the investigation didnt find it to be the cause.
Even if he had other issues, the killer still shot him while shouting homophobic slurs at him. It doesnt change it being a hate crime.
Its possible they were shot for different reasons, but Joss's husband and another neighbor both stated that they were harassed due to his sexuality. Joss clearly worsened the tensions with his neighbor, but it seems very likely that it initially started due to their issues with his sexuality.
