LOS ANGELES – The long-awaited breakthrough in the case of former “General Hospital” actor Johnny Wactor has finally come to light. Los Angeles police have apprehended four suspects in connection with his tragic and untimely death.

The four suspects, aged between 18 and 22, are natives of Huntington Park, Inglewood, and other cities in LA County. Three of them face charges of murder, while the fourth has been booked as an accessory to the crime.

According to a statement released by the LAPD, a series of search warrants executed early Thursday morning led to the arrests and the discovery of crucial evidence. The specifics of the arrests and evidence are yet to be disclosed.

Wactor met his tragic end while confronting thieves attempting to steal the catalytic converter from his car on the fateful morning of May 25. In a senseless act of violence, the 37-year-old was fatally shot by one of the perpetrators. The devastating incident occurred after Wactor had finished work at a rooftop bar, where he was accompanied by a colleague.

After the fatal shot, the assailants fled the scene in a vehicle, leaving Wactor critically wounded. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he succumbed to his injuries. The county medical examiner confirmed that the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest, ruling it as a homicide.

Following the incident, the LAPD had sought the public’s assistance in identifying the suspects by releasing surveillance images of the perpetrators and their getaway vehicle.

Wactor, a talented artist known for his role as Brando Corbin on the ABC soap opera, had also made appearances in popular TV series and films such as “Station 19,” “NCIS,” and “Westworld.” His sudden demise sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, leaving his agent, David Shaul, to reminisce fondly about Wactors’s resilience and dedication to his craft.

In a poignant statement, Wactor’s mother, Scarlett Wactor, expressed her profound grief and the void left by her son’s absence. The pain of losing a beloved child was evident in her words, as she grappled with the reality of a future without him.
