A South Carolina man who pleaded guilty to fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend in front of her young son will spend the rest of his life behind bars.

John Patrick Shea, aged 29, appeared in court on Wednesday to express his apologies to Jillian Angner’s family. Angner, a 25-year-old woman, was shot by Shea in March 2023 while escorting her 6-year-old son to school. Shea, who had dated Angner and began stalking her post-breakup, pleaded guilty to all four felony charges against him, including Angner’s murder and the attempted murder of her son, requesting a life sentence.

The 14th Circuit Solicitor’s Office in South Carolina released a press release, stating that Shea pleaded guilty to Angner’s murder as his trial commenced. Prosecutors noted Shea confessed to the planned killing of Angner and also admitted to the “attempted murder of Angner’s young son, discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, and possession of a weapon during commission of a violent crime.”

According to prosecutors, Shea and Angner’s relationship ended in October 2022. In the months that followed, Angner reported “multiple instances of stalking and break-ins at her home” that were allegedly committed by Shea.

On the morning of March 2, 2023, Shea got a friend to drive him to Angner’s home. The friend believed the ride was for a “drug run” and did not know he was driving Shea to Angner’s home.
