The Los Angeles Police Department found fingerprints at the scene where Johnny was shot and killed by a group of thieves in May.

The actor was only 37 years old.

Members of the Florencia 13 gang have now been found in connection with the murder, per TMZ.

SHOCKING DEATH

Johnny’s death occurred during the morning hours of May 25 outside of the Level 8 rooftop bar where he worked.

The actor, who appeared in nearly 200 episodes of General Hospital , was walking to the parking lot when he noticed three men acting suspiciously around his car.

His mother, Scarlett, originally broke the news, explaining that Johnny didn’t attempt to confront or fight the thieves.

However, he was shot by a masked man before the group took off.

Paramedics arrived around 3 am and took Johnny to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

SOLVING THE CASE

Earlier this month, the LAPD released new information connected to the actor’s murder.

Photos of the suspects and their alleged vehicle were shared as cops issued a community alert with new details related to the case.

Two of the three suspects were seen wearing gray hoodies while the last wore a black hoodie.

One also has a tattoo above his left eye and another on his right cheek.

The three men fled the crime scene in a black 2018 Infiniti Q50 sedan, which was reportedly stolen.

HIS FINAL MOMENTS

Johnny’s unexpected death came as he was walking his female co-worker, Anita, to her car after their late-night shift bartending.

Wactor's Career

The actor from Charleston, South Carolina, starred in General Hospital between 2020 and 2022.

His first appearance on the show was on January 30, 2020, as Brando Corbin, but he was written out two years later after his character was stabbed by an unknown killer.

However, before playing Corbin, Wactor started his acting career in 2007 by starring in Army Wives.

He also featured in NCIS, Criminal Minds, Station 19, The OA, and West World.

In 2016, he landed a movie role in USS Indianapolis: Men Of Courage, starring Nicolas Cage.

Wactor is set to feature in a new movie by Luca Perito called American Sognare, which is currently in post-production, according to IMDb.

The two were parked close to each other, two blocks away from the restaurant.

After his death, Johnny’s brother, Grant, said he wasn’t surprised that Johnny instinctively walked with her at that hour, as they were “Southern, born and raised.”

Anita shared an Instagram post detailing the final moments of Johnny’s life as she held him in her arms.

“My friend of 8 years went from working side by side, leaving our bartending shift and walking to our cars to him dying in my arms in the streets of DTLA in the dark hours of 3am,” she wrote.

Anita explained how they cautiously approached the men, as they originally thought Johnny’s car was getting towed.

She said Johnny “kept his cool” and was between her and the shooter when he fired the gun.

After Johnny fell back onto her, Anita said she screamed for help and tried to keep him upright in an attempt to keep the actor alive.

She said one of the security guards at the bar noticed them and immediately called 911 as she tied her denim jacket around Johnny.

“I’m so thankful for Bryan showing up, trying with all his might to save Johnny. It was too close range, too extreme of a wound for him to survive it but my god, he fought to stay,” Anita wrote.

“I am utterly heartbroken and so very angry,” she added.

“My only peace is that I was with him and this didn’t happen to him alone – my only other peace will be seeing these awful men brought to justice.”

Johnny was born on August 31, 1986, in Charleston, South Carolina .

He was known for his role as Brando Corbin on General Hospital, who was married to Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattsson).
