Johnny Wactor's mother says her son's death 'doesn't need to be in vain'

Johnny Wactor's mother told Fox News Digital she is beginning to reach out to politicians to seek justice for her son, as she confirms his upcoming funeral.

Scarlett said friends from his theater group in Los Angles are also planning a private "not press, and no fans," memorial for Wactor as well, which she hopes to attend if she’s able.

She also confirmed that his co-worker Anita Joy, who he protected in his final moments, will be attending the funeral, saying, "I’m very excited…it’ll be nice that I’ll be able to see her and be able to meet her as well."
