Suspects Arrested in Death of Actor Johnny Wactor
In May, daytime TV fans were stunned by the murder of Johnny Wactor, who had played in “General Hospital.”
Wactor was reportedly working as a bartender when he walked a fellow employee out to her car after their shift.
The two were approached by would-be robbers, and Wactor ended up being gunned down.
Got Them
When the shooting was first reported, Wactor’s fans were devastated.
It took some time (the murder took place in May,) but authorities have finally rounded up some suspects in the case.
The LAPD has announced the names of three suspects who have been arrested on charges related to Wactor’s murder.
Robert Barceleau, 18; Leonel Guiterrez, 18; and Sergio Estrada, 18, were all apprehended on suspicion of murder.
A fourth suspect, Frank Olano, 22, is being accused of being an accessory to murder.
The arrests were made after several search warrants were executed by local police.
Mayor Karen Bass thanked the police for their efforts in solving the killing, and stated that the people responsible for "this brazen and heinous act are held fully accountable.”
The woman who was with Wactor at the time, now identified as Anita Joy, recalled the incident, stating, "We were no threat, and Jonny kept his cool as he always did, simply stating that it was his car and for them to leave.
“Hands open to his sides in peace.
"As I heard the shot ring into the night, he forcefully tumbled back into my arms and as I grabbed for him, I shouted ‘Hunny you ok?!’ And he only responded ‘Nope! Shot!’”
Wactor was a regular on “General Hospital,” where he appeared in more than 160 episodes as Brando Corbin.
Los Angeles, as most of you know, has been overridden by crime in recent years, and these criminals have become more emboldened as penalties for committing these crimes seem less and less in Democrat-run cities.
Perhaps the murder of Wactor and others will finally get people like Gavin Newsom to stop sitting on his hands to hold these people accountable for their actions.
