A Michigan man who fired five shots into his estranged wife’s head while their children were nearby was convicted of her murder.

Steven Wheeler, 31, heard the jury’s verdict on Jan. 23 following a six-day trial in the case of the fatal shooting of his estranged wife, Jordan Wheeler, 33. They were given the option of finding Wheeler guilty of first-degree, premeditated murder or the lesser charge of second-degree murder. The jury, comprised of six men and six women, heard gut-wrenching testimony from the couple’s 9-year-old son, who was one of two children at the home during the October 2023 tragedy. After three hours of deliberation, they found Wheeler guilty of first-degree murder.
