Slain actor Johnny Wactor's ex fiancee breaks down on video: You shot the wrong guy

Slain actor Johny Wactor's ex-fiancee broke down in tears in a video begging the authorities to track down the actor's killers. Wactor, who featured in the show General Hospital, was shot dead during a botched robbery in Los Angeles.

In a video posted on Instagram and TikTok, Hollywood actress Tessa Farrell sobbed as she said the suspects “shot the wrong guy” and hit out at crime rates in California.

“If the person who did this, if you’re watching, I’m sorry, but you shot the wrong guy,” she says through tears.

“You can get a real job. I know the job market’s hard but we’re all in it together. You don’t have to steal, especially take a life over it.”

The actress went on to say “human life is disregarded too easy”, saying it is time we “make changes as a community” and “support each other”.

“Maybe that’s what Johnny’s gift is for us, maybe he’s gifting that to all of us,” she said.

Farrell appealed to fans for help to “find these killers.”

“These criminals can’t keep being on the street and they can’t keep being sent back and have no repercussions for their actions,” she added.

“It’s not ok, this can’t keep happening. So many lives are being lost, just us not being smart - we have to be smarter as a community.”

In the video, she also called for tougher laws to tackle crime in Los Angeles.

“Do you want better laws to reduce the escalating crime and theft rates in California?” she wrote in the Instagram post caption.

“If you’d like to help raise awareness for stricter crime and theft laws in California, please use hashtag #justiceforjohnny.”

Wactor was shot dead at around 3am on Saturday while protecting a female co-worker during a suspected robbery in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles police department said that three men were trying to steal the catalytic converter from a vehicle.

The 37-year-old actor was reportedly escorting his colleague to her car after their shift at a rooftop bar when they came across the thieves.

Wactor's brother Grant told The Daily mail that his brother believed the suspects were just towing his truck. “So he said something to the guys, like, ‘Hey, are you towing?” he said.
“And then once he turned around, he saw what was happening and he put his coworker behind him. And that’s when they shot him.”

The suspects fled in a vehicle. No arrests have yet been made, no suspects have been named and the investigation is ongoing.
