Alleged Theft Gone Wrong

5/26/2024 2:25 PM PT

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.

literally inside my house and just feet from where my car was parked, I experience a bit of "but for the grace of DOG go, I"... seeing this. Because I damned well wanted to have confronted them (albeit I'm armed with nothing more than a cell phone and BEAR SPRAY--but the latter is pretty damned powerful). Still, I know that doing so could have been horrific.

I never watched GH, but he was undoubtedly a talented young man.
