The Los Angeles Police Department is looking for help in identifying the killers of General Hospital actor Johnny Wactor and, for the first time, has released surveillance photos of the suspects.

Wactor, who portrayed Brando Corbin on General Hospital from 2020 until 2022, was fatally shot during a suspected attempted robbery in Los Angeles on Saturday, May 25. He was said to be walking back to his car after a late-night shift at a bar in downtown when he encountered three men attempting to steal the catalytic converter from his car.

The soap star did not try to stop the suspects but was shot before they fled the scene. Authorities arrived shortly after 3 a.m. PT, per the Los Angeles Police Department, and Wactor was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
