In a tragic incident that sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced on Monday that four men have been charged in connection with the killing of General Hospital star Johnny Wactor. The 37-year-old actor was fatally shot while walking to his car after a bartending shift in downtown Los Angeles on May 25.

The suspects, identified as Robert Barceleau (18), Leonel Gutierrez (18), Sergio Estrada (18), and Frank Olano (22), were apprehended on Thursday following a thorough investigation. Gascón revealed the charges against the accused during the announcement.

According to initial reports from May, Wactor confronted the four suspects as he discovered them allegedly attempting to steal a catalytic converter from a vehicle. The situation quickly escalated, resulting in Wactor's tragic death.

Barceleau has been charged with murder, with a special circumstance allegation of killing in the commission of a robbery. Additionally, he faces charges of attempted robbery and grand theft. If convicted, he could potentially face life imprisonment. Currently, Barceleau is being held without bail.

Estrada, too, has been charged with murder, but without the special circumstance allegation. He also faces charges of attempted robbery and grand theft. Gutierrez, on the other hand, has been charged solely with attempted robbery and grand theft by embezzlement. Finally, Olano has been charged with being an accessory after the fact to the killing and receiving stolen property.

All four suspects' charges include the allegation that they were armed with a firearm during the commission of the crime.

The news of Wactor's senseless killing has left the entertainment community and General Hospital fans mourning the loss of a talented actor. As the case progresses through the legal system, the hopes for justice remain high, and the eyes of the public will be closely watching for updates.

The grieving family and friends of Johnny Wactor are left to remember him through his remarkable performances on General Hospital, where he portrayed the character Brando Corbin from 2020 to 2022. The legacy he leaves behind will not be forgotten.
