Known for his work on General Hospital, actor Johnny Wactor was shot and killed in Los Angeles. The 37-year-old and a colleague witnessed three hooded criminals trying to take a catalytic converter from his automobile in downtown Los Angeles at around 3:30 in the morning while they were near West Pico Boulevard and South Hope Street.
Debriefing The Incident
The actor approached the robbers, according to Mr. Wactor’s mother and the police, and although he didn’t resist, one of the perpetrators shot him before driving off, according to TMZ. According to a police source, the actor was transferred to a nearby hospital, where he passed away from his wounds.
Scarlett Wactor, Mr. Wactor’s mother, provided more information regarding the event. Her son had been working as a bartender at a nearby rooftop venue, she told NBC. Following the last call, he assisted with a “deep clean” and then walked down the street with three coworkers to his car. Mr. Wactor and one other coworker remained as the other two went in a different path to get to their cars.
Mr. Wactor had parked his car in an unknown spot on the street, thinking he would be working later than usual, so he feared it was being towed when they arrived at his jacked-up vehicle. Ms. Scarlett revealed that her son made an attempt to communicate with a man wearing a mask. The suspect shot him as he got closer to them and then fled in a waiting car.
