“Johnny Wactor senselessly took his own life by simply walking to his parked car in downtown Los Angeles,” District Attorney George Gascon said in August 2024 declaration. “We are committed to seeking justice for Mr. Wactor and ensuring that those responsible are held accountable for their actions.”
Gascón added: “The loss of this talented young actor, who was at the prime of his life and had so much to offer the world, is deeply felt by all of us. Mr. Wactor’s work and presence touched the lives of many, and our hearts go out to his family, friends and the entire community as they mourn this devastating loss.”
The news appeared in May 2024 Wactor died at the age of 37 after the Los Angeles shooting. According to Wactor’s mother, he was shot after an alleged altercation with three men who were trying to steal his car’s catalytic converter.
Wactor was allegedly with a co-worker at the time of the incident and was trying to protect her from injury.
“We’re Southern, born and raised, and we’d never let a woman walk up to their car alone,” Wactor’s brother, Grant, he said Daily Mail later that month. “He ran into them and thought his truck was being towed away. So he said something to the guys like, ‘Hey, are you pulling?'”
According to Grant, Wactor tried to protect his colleague from the apparent attackers.
“And as soon as he turned around, he saw what was going on and put his associate behind him. And that’s when they shot him,” Grant said.
