Johnny Wactor -- an actor best known for appearing in nearly 200 episodes of "General Hospital" -- has died, TMZ has learned.
Wactor was shot and killed in downtown Los Angeles early Saturday morning, his mother Scarlett tells TMZ. She says Johnny was with a coworker when they saw three men messing with Johnny's car. While authorities haven't release his name, this matches the description of an incident where three suspects allegedly tried to steal a catalytic converter.
Scarlett says she was told Johnny didn't try to fight or stop them ... but, the men shot him anyway before taking off. According to police info, paramedics rushed to the scene just after 3 AM PT. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Absolutely terrible.
L.A is falling apart, crime is getting out of hand, the mayor & Gov of L.A are both failing its residents badly

In California? They'll likely not see much prison time at all.
Justice and all that.

Too short.
While Los Angeles council member Nithya Raman wants to sue Toyota, and DA George Gascon refuses to prosecute catalytic converter thieves, people are being executed trying to protect their property.

Far too young.
Catalytic converter thieves are already pieces of trash. But now they are murderers. I hope they catch them. https://t.co/Xq0cOJoKVW
