Johnny Wactor, former 'General Hospital' actor, was tragically shot and killed in downtown Los Angeles on May 25 at the age of 37. Wactor, who portrayed Brando Corbin on the soap opera from 2020 to 2022, was reportedly killed while shielding a co-worker during a robbery attempt involving a catalytic converter. His co-worker, Anita Joy, recounted that Wactor died in her arms after heroically stepping in front of her and was shot point blank. Wactor's final words were reportedly, 'Hunny you OK?' The Los Angeles Police Department is seeking public assistance in identifying the suspects. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has classified his death as a homicide. Wactor's family has launched a GoFundMe campaign to support his loved ones, which has already raised over $84,000 towards a $100,000 goal. The actor's ex-fiancée, Tessa Farrell, has publicly expressed her grief, though Wactor's family has requested she refrain from speaking about the incident.
