Three days after the murder of former “General Hospital” actor Johnny Wactor, detectives are continuing to look for information about who shot and killed him.
Wactor had just finished his bartending shift in downtown Los Angeles early Saturday morning and was walking a coworker to her car when he saw three men surrounding his parked car on Hope Street, according to the LAPD. When Wactor approached, one of the men shot him.
Police revealed Tuesday that the suspects had the actor’s car raised up with a floor jack and were in the process of stealing the catalytic converter.
"The three suspects involved were wearing all dark clothing and driving a dark-colored sedan. The suspects fled northbound on Hope St.,” according to a statement from the LAPD.
There’s no word on whether traffic or surveillance cameras captured the shooting or the path the suspects’ vehicle took.
