The Los Angeles Police Department has released images of multiple suspects connected to the tragic murder of General Hospital star Johnny Wactor.

On August 4, the LAPD shared two photos on social media, depicting what appears to be three individuals standing outside a vehicle with all its doors open. According to the police department, the suspects were allegedly attempting to steal a catalytic converter from Wactor’s vehicle when the actor was fatally shot in the chest.

The social media post and subsequent images serve as a plea to the public, urging anyone who can identify the apparent assailants to come forward and assist in the investigation.

“LAPD News: Detectives have released a community alert related to a homicide that occurred on May 25, 2024,” Sunday’s post read. The police department also noted that the three suspects fled the scene in “a stolen 2018, black, 4-door, infinity Q50, with tan interior.”

Wactor’s mother, Scarlett Wactor, confirmed on May 26 that her son died at the age of 37 while courageously protecting a coworker from the gunmen. The actor died from a gunshot wound to the chest. His cause of death was ruled a homicide.
