Family of Johnny Wactor Seeks Justice in Killing

Those close to actor Johnny Wactor urged the public and officials to help track down his killers. Wactor, known for his role on "General Hospital," was shot on May 25 in downtown Los Angeles while interrupting thieves stealing his car's catalytic converter. Scarlett Wactor, the actor's mother, emotionally appealed at a news conference on Tuesday for information that could lead to arrests.

"I'm asking that anybody that knows anything please come forward," Scarlett Wactor said in her appeal. "It will help me and his brothers in our healing to know that they've been captured and convicted." She added, "Grief is my constant companion. I can't wish him happy birthday on Aug. 31—he would have been 38." Police released surveillance images of three suspects and their stolen getaway vehicle, a 2018 black Infiniti Q50, on August 5. Johnny Wactor's career included contributions to TV series such as "Station 19," "NCIS" and "Westworld." (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
