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

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

He died later in the hospital.

The 37-year-old man was shot in the chest with a pistol and the suspects fled the scene after the murder in a downtown Los Angeles parking lot, according to police.

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

Los Angeles police said one of the suspects has a tattoo above his left eye and on his right cheek.

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

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

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

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

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