NEW: Arrests Made In Connection With Murder Of ‘General Hospital’ Star

Four people have been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of Johnny Wactor, a star cast member of “General Hospital,” who was gunned down in May while attempting to prevent a catalytic converter theft, authorities have said.

In a statement released Friday, the Los Angeles Police Department announced that three suspects had been arrested on suspicion of murder. The suspects have been identified as Robert Barceleau, 18; Leonel Guiterrez, 18; and Sergio Estrada, 18. Frank Plano, 22, was also arrested and accused of being an accessory to the killing.

The four men were taken into custody after the the department’s central homicide bureau discovered evidence and later carried out searches of the suspects’ homes, the department announced. Records show that bail was set at $2 million, though it is unclear whether any of the suspects have entered a plea.

Wactor, 37, was fatally shot during the nighttime hours of May 24 in Los Angeles. He had just finished a bartending shift in the city’s downtown section when he encountered three men who had raised the actor’s car with a floor jack and were attempting to steal the catalytic converter.

One of the thieves then shot Wactor without provocation, the department announced.

The men fled in a a dark sedan and Wactor was taken to a hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, authorities announced at the time.

On August 5, police provided an update on the case and asked the public for help with identifying the suspects. They also released images of the getaway vehicle.
