Johnny Wactor's mother has said the actor was shot when he approached three men at his car in Los Angeles, thinking the vehicle was being towed.
Former General Hospital actor Johnny Wactor has been shot dead by thieves who were trying to steal the catalytic converter from his car. He was 37. The shooting happened at about 3am on Saturday in downtown Los Angeles when Wactor approached three men by his car, according to police. One of the three opened fire, and Wactor died later in hospital. The suspects drove away, and no arrests have been made. The actor had just left a rooftop bar nearby, said his mother, Scarlett Wactor.
'In the highs and lows of a challenging profession he always kept his chin up and kept striving for the best he could be,' Mr Shaul said in a statement on Sunday. 'Our time with Johnny was a privilege we would wish on everyone. He would literally give you the shirt off his back. After over a decade together, he will leave a hole in our hearts forever.
