Last Post of John Wayne Sace Before His Arrest
JOHN WAYNE SACE – The last post of the former actor on Facebook before he was arrested following a shooting incident in Pasig has elicited mixed reactions from netizens.
Sace is an actor and dancer who rose to prominence as a child star and subsequently became a teen idol under ABS-CBN’s Star Magic talent management. He was also part of the all-male dance group AnimE on the variety show ASAP, where he performed alongside actors such as Rayver and Rodjun Cruz. Despite a promising start to his career, Sace encountered difficulties due to personal challenges along the way.
The former actor was arrested in Pasig City after allegedly shooting Lynell Eugenio four times with a .45 caliber pistol on the evening of October 28, 2024. The shooting occurred around 7:30 PM, and Sace was apprehended hours later at a nearby hotel. Authorities confiscated the weapon used in the incident.

In an interview, she described her 40-year-old father as helpless during the attack, revealing that Sace shot him in the back while appearing intoxicated. Cristel recalled the traumatic moment she learned of her father’s death while on duty with the Fire and Rescue Department, stating that she immediately rushed to the scene, only to find him lifeless in an alley.
