Police have released an image of three people wanted over the murder of TV star Johnny Wactor in Los Angeles.

The former General Hospital actor was shot in the early hours of 25 May after approaching thieves who were trying to steal the catalytic converter from his car, detectives said.

He died later in hospital.

The 37-year-old was shot in the chest with a handgun and the suspects fled the scene following the killing in a car park in downtown Los Angeles, according to police.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has now released a CCTV image showing three suspects standing around a black vehicle.

The LAPD said one of the suspects has a tattoo above their left eye and on their right cheek.

A second image shows a stolen car – a four-door 2018 Infiniti Q50 with a tan interior – which the suspects fled the area in, the force added.

Wactor’s mother Scarlett Wactor said the shooting happened after her son had left a rooftop bar nearby.

She said her son had thought his car was being towed after seeing a group of people standing around it.

Wactor played Brando Corbin on the long-running soap opera General Hospital from 2020 to 2022, appearing in 164 episodes.

He also appeared in a variety of films and TV series, including NCIS, Criminal Minds, Westworld, Station 19 and the video game Call of Duty: Vanguard.
