Lacey’s wife, Kenisha Wilson, worked at the Walmart and witnesses say he shot her in the back of the head and accused her of having an affair. Law enforcement says Lacey threatened another worker in the room before going over to the customer service desk, placing the gun on the counter, and telling the employee he had shot his wife.

Lacey is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years in federal prison.
