Johnny Wactor is being hailed a hero by his family after he was killed in a robbery attempt. The actor, best known for playing Brando Corbin on ABC’s General Hospital between 2020 and 2022, was shot and killed in downtown Los Angeles in the early morning hours of Saturday (May 25). Three men were attempting to steal a catalytic converter from his car. Johnny‘s family is speaking out to share new details about his final moments, which paint him as a hero. Keep reading to find out more… It has been revealed that Johnny was working a side job as a bartender on Friday night and was walking a female co-worker to her car at the end of a late night of work. There were men standing next to Johnny‘s car and he thought it was being towed at first, but then they pointed a gun at him. Johnny moved in front of his co-worker and shielded her with his body when he was shot and killed. The suspects are still at large. “We’re Southern, born and raised, and we would never let a female walk to their car by herself,” Johnny‘s brother Grant told DailyMail.com. “He came across them and he thought his truck was being towed. So he said something to the guys, like, ‘Hey, are you towing?’ And then once he turned around, he saw what was happening and he put his coworker behind him. And that’s when they shot him.” Grant added, “My brother was probably the hardest working person I’ve ever met in my life. He was a great brother and son. Anyone he touched, he made a great impact. He was as charismatic in real life as he was on camera. And he was always genuine, through and through.” Our thoughts and condolences continue to go out to Johnny Wactor‘s loved ones during this difficult time.
