Michael Jace, best known for his role as Julien Lowe on the TV show The Shield, has been convicted of second degree murder in the aftermath of his wife April’s death.
A jury in Los Angeles found Michael guilty of killing April during an argument they had in 2014.
As the trial unfolded this week, jury members heard a transcript of Michael’s interview with police in which he admitted to shooting his wife in the leg while they fought about a possible divorce.
According to prosecutors, Michael shot April twice in the leg and once in the back while their two sons were in the house.
After the shooting, Michael called April’s parents to confess to the crime. They then notified police of the incident.
Michael’s sentencing is scheduled for June 10. He faces 40 years to life in prison.

The Shield actor Michael Jace, 53, is on trial for the murder of his wife, April. His young son took the stand and told the jury he saw his father pull his mother into the hallway, where she fell. She was shot a total of three times.
Lesson here: don’t murder your wife.
I hope he likes jail, cause he’s going to be there for many years.
loose screw! but at least he didn’t kill his kids as well. psycho
Very sad. Another woman killed by her husband after declaring she wanted a divorce. Why can’t these men accept their wives’ decisions and move on? He was a talented actor (great on The Shield), obviously hiding a dark side. Also, he killed his wife with his children in the house–how horrible for them. They are as good as orphans now. Hope their mother’s family will lovingly raise them.
Why can’t they get help for their anger issues before killing someone and ruining everyone’s lives, including their own?
