A friend and co-worker of actor Johnny Wactor, who was fatally shot over the weekend while interrupting a catalytic converter theft in downtown Los Angeles, spent his last moments shielding her from harm before he died in her arms.
The 37-year-old actor, who played Brando Corbin in the beloved soap opera “General Hospital” died of a gunshot wound to the chest on Saturday, and his death was ruled a homicide by the LA County medical examiner’s office.
Wactor’s co-worker and friend of eight years, Anita Joy, who was with him when he was shot, shared an emotional Instagram post Wednesday sharing the horror that unfolded that night.
Joy and Wactor had worked a bartending shift Friday night at Level 8 in Downtown Los Angeles and were headed to their cars in the early hours of Saturday morning when they approached men seen near his car, thinking Wactor’s car was possibly being towed.
“We were no threat and Jonny kept his cool as he always did, simply stating that it was his car and for them to leave. Hands open to his sides in peace,” Joy wrote.
