Police in Los Angeles have arrested four people over the fatal shooting of former General Hospital actor Johnny Wactor.
Robert Barceleau, Leonel Gutierrez and Sergio Estrada, all 18 years old, were booked on arrest warrants for murder.
Frank Olano, 22, was booked for being an alleged accessory to the crime.
They were all being held in lieu of $2 million dollar bail, jail records showed.
The Associated Press was unable to determine if they had lawyers to speak on their behalf after making calls to the county jail and Los Angeles Police Department seeking information.
Officers conducted search warrants at several locations throughout Los Angeles that led to the arrests on Thursday morning, according to a news release from the Los Angeles Police Department.
Officers also recovered additional evidence while conducting the searches, police said.
No further details have been shared about the arrests or the evidence.
Wactor was shot and killed when he interrupted thieves stealing the catalytic converter from his car in the early morning of May 25th.
Police said the 37-year-old had left work at a rooftop bar with a co-worker when he saw three men who had hoisted his car.
Officers said one of them fired at him without provocation and killed him.
The men fled in a car and Wactor was taken to hospital, where he was later declared dead, police said.
Police on August 5 asked for the public’s help in identifying the suspects, releasing surveillance images of them and their getaway car.
Wactor, a South Carolina native, portrayed Brando Corbin on the ABC soap opera General Hospital from 2020 to 2022.
He also appeared in a variety of films and TV series, including Station 19, NCIS and Westworld, as well as in the video game Call Of Duty: Vanguard.
His agent, David Shaul, said just after Wactor’s death that he “always kept his chin up and kept striving for the best he could be”.
At a news conference earlier in the week, his mother described the feeling of losing him.
“Grief is my constant companion,” Scarlett Wactor said.
“I can’t wish him happy birthday on August 31 – he would have been 38. I can’t ask if he’s coming home for Christmas. I can’t ask how his day went.”
