Steph Deschamps / May 29,

Johnny Wactor was killed on the streets of Los Angeles on Saturday night. According to the actor's mother, he was with a colleague when he spotted three men attempting to steal his car. The actor then approached and was directly targeted by gunfire.

The facts match the description of an incident in which three suspects allegedly attempted to steal a catalytic converter (part of a car's exhaust system). However, the authorities have not released the name of the victim in this case.

Johnny Wactor is best known to the American public as Brando Corbin. That's the role he played on the soap "General Hospital" from 2020 to 2022. But he has also played smaller roles in other successful series. He made his debut in "Army Wives" in 2007. He has also appeared in "Criminal Minds", "Westworld" and "NCIS ».
