Wactor was shot in downtown LA near Hope Street and Pico Boulevard after leaving a shift bartending at Level 8 in the area. He reportedly stood in between the shooters and a colleague who walked out with him. Police said the suspected shooter has a tattoo above his left eye and one on his right cheek, CBS News Los Angeles reported. Since the actor’s death, there have been rallies urging action in his case.

Wactor’s mother, Scarlett Wactor, said in a statement, “There are not enough words to tell what a beautiful soul he was. He was a kind, loving son and brother. He lived life to the fullest. He set goals and went after them. There is a very large hole in our hearts and lives.”

Wactor’s godmother set up a GoFundMe to help his family in the wake of his murder. So far, it has raised $142,782 raised of its $200,000 goal.
