4 Men Arrested In Shooting Death Of Former 'General Hospital' Actor Johnny Wactor

The 37-year-old was shot and killed in Los Angeles when he interrupted thieves stealing the catalytic converter from his car, authorities said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police have arrested four suspects in the fatal shooting of former “General Hospital” actor Johnny Wactor.

The four suspects who have been arrested range in age from 18 to 22 and hail from L.A. County, Huntington Park and Inglewood. Three of the suspects were booked on arrest warrants for murder and the fourth was booked as an accessory.

A news release from the LAPD states that officers conducted search warrants that led to the arrests early Thursday morning and recovered additional evidence. No further details have been shared about the arrests or the evidence.

Wactor was shot and killed when he interrupted thieves stealing the catalytic converter from his car in early on the morning of May 25. Police said the 37-year-old had left work at a rooftop bar with a coworker when he saw three men who had hoisted his car. Police said one of them fired at him without provocation and killed him.

The men fled in a car and Wactor was taken to a hospital where he was later declared dead, police said. The county medical examiner said Wactor died from a gunshot wound to the chest and ruled the death a homicide.
