Four people were taken into custody for their involvement in the murder of former soap opera actor Johnny Wactor.

Police in Los Angeles have announced that four men have been arrested in connection with the tragic shooting of former "General Hospital" actor Johnny Wactor. Wactor was killed during what appeared to be a catalytic converter theft back in May. The Los Angeles Police Department conducted search warrants at multiple locations throughout the city on Thursday, which led to the recovery of evidence and the arrests of the suspects. According to an updated news release, three 18-year-old men have been booked on suspicion of murder, while a 22-year-old man has been booked on suspicion of being an accessory.

At this time, the LAPD has not released any further details about the ongoing investigation. CNN is currently working to determine if the suspects have legal representation. In earlier reports, police had released grainy images of three individuals wearing hooded sweatshirts, as well as photos of a stolen black four-door Infiniti Q50 sedan with a tan interior. It was also mentioned that the alleged shooter has a distinctive tattoo above his left eye and on his right cheek, but the identity of the shooter has not been revealed.

Johnny Wactor's mother, Scarlett Wactor, spoke at a news conference earlier this week in Los Angeles, expressing the pain and grief she has been experiencing since her son's death. She described her grief as a constant companion, unable to celebrate her son's upcoming 38th birthday, ask him how his day went, or have him home for Christmas. However, she also shared that the news of the arrests has brought some relief and hope for justice. Scarlett Wactor told CNN on Thursday that these arrests are a great birthday present for her son, and she hopes he is smiling down on them.

According to Scarlett Wactor, the arrests are a "huge relief" and a "big win." She expressed her cautious optimism that the suspects will be held accountable for their actions and face serious consequences. LA Mayor Karen Bass also released a statement on Thursday, calling for full accountability in this case. She thanked the LAPD for their partnership and hard work in bringing justice to victims of violence and keeping the community safe. Mayor Bass emphasized the importance of holding those responsible for this heinous act accountable for their actions.
