LAPD Close to Solving Soap Star’s Murder, Arrests Made

The Los Angeles Police Department announced that it is close to solving actor Johnny Wactor’s murder. TMZ reported that arrest warrants were issued Thursday morning and “multiple arrests” have been made. Wactor, 37, was gunned down on May 25 upon returning to his car to find his catalytic converter being stolen. He was shot as he approached, and the suspects reportedly fled in a black 2018 Infiniti Q50. Less than two weeks ago, cops released photos of the suspects in hopes that the public could help identify them. TMZ reported that police are focusing their efforts on members of the Florencia 13 gang and fingerprints recovered helped clinch the case. On Tuesday, the General Hospital actor’s friends and family held a press conference asking for the public’s help in solving the case. “I’m asking that anybody that knows anything please come forward,” said Wactor’s mother, Scarlett, at the press conference, the Associated Press reported. “It will help me and his brothers in our healing to know that they’ve been captured and convicted.”
