Actor Michael Jace is scheduled to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom on Wednesday for arraignment on a murder charge filed after his wife’s shooting death last month.
The actor, who played a police officer on the television series The Shield, did not enter a plea during his initial court appearance last month. Police say Jace shot his wife April multiple times in the family’s Los Angeles home on May 19.
Police have not released a motive for the slaying and Jace’s attorneys have said the case is still in its early stages and their investigation is ongoing.
April Jace’s family has called her death a senseless act of domestic violence.
Police say Jace called 911 to report the killing. Their two children were at home at the time but were unharmed.
