LOS ANGELES — Police have released images of three suspects and a getaway car linked to the murder of former “General Hospital” actor Johnny Wactor in downtown Los Angeles. Wactor was killed when he interrupted thieves stealing the catalytic converter from his car.
The Los Angeles Police Department published the images on Sunday, issuing a community alert to seek assistance in identifying the suspects.
One of the images features the getaway car, a stolen 2018 black Infiniti Q50 with a tan interior. Another image depicts the three suspects standing outside the vehicle.
According to the alert, Wactor was shot in the chest by “suspect 1,” who is described as having tattoos above the left eye and on the right cheek.
The incident occurred around 3:20 a.m. on May 25. Scarlett Wactor, the actor’s mother, disclosed to ABC 7 that her 37-year-old son had left work at a rooftop bar with a coworker when he spotted someone near his car and thought it was being towed. A masked suspect then opened fire, and the trio fled the scene in the Infiniti.
Johnny Wactor portrayed Brando Corbin on the ABC soap opera from 2020 to 2022. His acting career also included roles in a variety of films and TV series such as “Station 19,” “NCIS,” “Westworld,” and the video game “Call of Duty: Vanguard.”
