Actor Michael Jace Allegedly Murders Wife In Front Of Their Two Children Over Money Issues

May 20, 2014

“The Shield” actor Michael Jace has been detained by police in the shooting death of his wife. The actor was detained by the LAPD Monday night at the couple’s home after his wife, April, was discovered dead with multiple gunshot wounds. According to TMZ, Jace called 911 last night and said he shot his wife in the face, allegedly while his two children watched. The actor was booked on suspicion of homicide early Tuesday morning, according to a police spokeswoman.

Money seems to have played a role in this terrible tragedy. Law enforcement told TMZ that Michael Jace and his wife were in a heated argument over money just before he allegedly murdered her. The veteran actor is currently being held on $1 million bail.
