Two teenagers face murder charges in the fatal shooting of 37-year-old TV personality Johnny Wactor.
The tragic news of Johnny Wactor's death spread like wildfire back in May. The beloved General Hospital star was just 37 years old when he was fatally shot in a botched robbery. It was a senseless act of violence that left his family, friends, and fans devastated.

According to reports, Wactor was on his way to his car after finishing his late shift as a bartender in downtown Los Angeles. Little did he know, he would come across three armed thieves attempting to steal the catalytic converter from his car. In a brave attempt to defend his property, Wactor confronted the group of men, thinking that his car was being towed. Tragically, this confrontation led to his untimely death.

After months of investigation, two gang members, Robert Barceleau and Sergio Estrada, both 18 years old, were charged with murder, among other crimes, at the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Two others, Leonel Gutierrez and Frank Olano, were also charged with lesser crimes related to Wactor's death.

District Attorney George Gascón expressed his determination to seek justice for Wactor and hold those responsible for his death accountable for their actions. He also acknowledged the impact Wactor had on many lives through his work and presence, and extended his condolences to his family, friends, and the entire community.

Mayor Karen Bass also shared her condolences to Wactor's family and thanked the LAPD for their hard work in the investigation. She emphasized the importance of taking aggressive action to make the city safer and ensuring that those who commit crimes are held accountable for their actions.

Aside from his role as Brando Corbin in General Hospital, Wactor also had roles in other popular shows such as Station 19, NCIS, and Westworld. He even lent his voice to the popular video game, Call of Duty: Vanguard. His talent and potential were cut short, leaving a void in the entertainment industry.
