His mother, Scarlett Wactor, shared that the family will be holding receiving and funeral services at Sommerville Baptist Church in Sommerville, South Carolina, on June 15th. The news was initially shared by Johnny's brother, Grant, on social media.

In addition to the public funeral, Scarlett revealed that a private memorial is being organized by friends from Johnny's theater group in Los Angeles. The intimate gathering, which will be a private affair without press or fans, is planned to honor Wactor's memory. Scarlett expressed her desire to attend if circumstances permit.

Anita Joy, a close coworker of Johnny's who he bravely protected in his final moments, will also be attending the funeral. Scarlett expressed her excitement about meeting Joy, describing her as an important part of Johnny's life during his last moments. Joy had shared a heart-wrenching account of the incident on Instagram, recalling how Johnny shielded her from harm.

On Wednesday, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner officially ruled Johnny Wactor's manner of death as a homicide, with the direct cause being a gunshot wound to the chest. The LAPD is currently pursuing leads as they continue their search for the suspects. Scarlett has not received any updates from the police but remains hopeful that progress is being made.

To support the family during this difficult time, a GoFundMe campaign was launched by Wactor's godmother, Michaelle Kinard, to cover travel expenses. Additionally, Scarlett mentioned that another GoFundMe campaign is in the works to potentially offer a reward for information leading to the apprehension of the perpetrators. Any unused funds will be refunded if the suspects are caught beforehand.

Scarlett is determined to seek justice for her son and initiate change in Los Angeles. She has begun researching ways to collaborate with local politicians, including Councilmember Kevin de Leon, to push for improvements in safety measures, especially regarding parking and protection for employees in downtown Los Angeles.

Councilmember Kevin de Leon expressed his deepest condolences to the family and stressed his commitment to ensuring that justice is served.

Level 8, the rooftop bar where Johnny worked, acknowledged the safety concerns and stated that they have been providing security escorts for their staff to nearby parking lots since its opening. The establishment is actively researching additional safety measures to ensure the well-being of their employees.

As the community grieves the loss of Johnny Wactor, Scarlett remains determined to see changes implemented in Los Angeles. Her unwavering efforts to push for safety improvements serve as a reminder that the memory of her son should not be in vain.
