Former actor and Anim-e dance group member John Wayne Sace was arrested on Tuesday, October 29, for his alleged involvement in the murder of a 43-year-old man named Lynell Eugenio in Pasig City. 

According to the initial report of Pasig City Police, Sace shot the victim four times with a .45 caliber pistol who was supposedly his friend which led to the latter’s death. The incident was said to have taken place on the evening of Monday, October 28, in Barangay Sagad, Pasig City.

Hours before the former actor shared a cryptic post on his Facebook page on Tuesday midnight.

“You sell drugs in secret, right? The lives you ruined and the people you stole from, do they have the power to go against you? Don’t play the victim. You repeatedly planned on harming me just like last night, right? You would kill my family if I leave them. You’re an animal,” his post read in Tagalog.

The former star was captured in a nearby hotel and taken into custody at the Pasig City Police Headquarters. Police recovered the weapon that Sace allegedly used to murder the 43-year-old victim. A paraffin test is often administered to determine the presence of gunpowder residue on a shooting suspect’s hands.

In 2016, Sace was involved in a separate shooting incident, where two unidentified men suddenly approached him and his companion, Erik Sabino, and shot them. Both Sace and Sabino were rushed to the hospital, but only Sace survived.

John Wayne Sace was a Star Magic artist who appeared in several TV shows including “Home along da Riles,” “Spirits,” “May Bukas Pa,” “Guns and Roses” and “Ang Probinsyano.” He was also part of the 2002 film “Dekada ’70.”
