In a recent and significant breakthrough, four members of the Florencia 13 gang have been arrested in connection with the heartbreaking murder of Johnny Wactor, the beloved actor from "General Hospital." This tragic event, which unfolded on May 25, has rocked the Los Angeles community and the wider entertainment world.
Johnny Wactor, known for his role as Brando Corbin on "General Hospital," was shot and killed while walking to his car after a bartending shift in downtown LA. The attack occurred during an attempted theft of his catalytic converter—a crime that has unfortunately become all too common. Despite being rushed to the hospital, Wactor, just 37 years old, could not be saved.
The Los Angeles Police Department announced the arrests of Robert Barceleau, Sergio Estrada, and Leonel Gutierrez, all 18, who face murder charges, while Frank Olano, 22, has been charged as an accessory to the crime. This development brings a glimmer of hope for justice in a case that has touched many hearts.
Anita Joy, a co-worker who was with Wactor during his final moments, shared a deeply moving account of the incident. On Instagram, she described how Wactor tried to calmly persuade the thieves to leave his car alone, his hands open in peace. “I was with Johnny in his last moments,” Joy wrote, “and I’m here to be his voice after such unimaginable events.” Her post offers a poignant glimpse into Wactor’s character, revealing his bravery and composure in the face of danger.
David Shaul, Wactor’s talent agent, remembered him as a person who embodied “hard work, tenacity, and a never give up attitude.” In addition to his role on "General Hospital," Wactor's impressive resume includes appearances on "Station 19," "Criminal Minds," and "Westworld," showcasing his versatility as an actor.
The arrest of the gang members marks a crucial step toward justice, but it’s also a reminder of the devastating impact of crime on our communities. As the legal process unfolds, fans and loved ones continue to mourn the loss of a talented actor whose life was cut tragically short.
