The Los Angeles Police Department is asking the public for tips in the tragic shooting death of General Hospital actor Johnny Wactor Saturday.
In a news release confirming earlier accounts of the crime, the LAPD said today that, based on witness statements, 37-year-old John William Wactor had ended his shift as a bartender at a local bar and was walking to his vehicle when “he was confronted by three individuals who had Wactor’s vehicle raised up with a floor jack and were in the process of stealing the catalytic converter.” “Without provocation, the victim was shot by one of the individuals,” police said. “The three suspects involved were wearing all dark clothing and driving a dark colored sedan.
The suspects fled northbound on Hope St. Central Bureau Homicide is investigating this case and is requesting the public’s help.” While the police statement mentions a witness, the LAPD has not confirmed the witness’ identity.
