ABC News reported that the LAPD released an image with the suspects. The actor, who portrayed Brando Corbin on the ABC soap from 2020 to 2022, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of May 25 after a confrontation over thieves stealing the catalytic converter from his car.

Police released a surveillance photo of the three people they suspect were involved and the vehicle they fled the scene in. Authorities identified the vehicle as a stolen 2018 black Infiniti Q50 Sedan with a tan interior.

Wactor was shot in downtown LA near Hope Street and Pico Boulevard after leaving a shift bartending at Level 8 in the area. He reportedly stood in between the shooters and a colleague who walked out with him. Police said the suspected shooter has a tattoo above his left eye and one on his right cheek, CBS News Los Angeles reported. Since the actor’s death, there have been rallies urging action in his case.

Wactor’s mother, Scarlett Wactor, said in a statement, “There are not enough words to tell what a beautiful soul he was. He was a kind, loving son and brother. He lived life to the fullest. He set goals and went after them. There is a very large hole in our hearts and lives.”

Wactor’s godmother set up a GoFundMe to help his family in the wake of his murder. So far, it has raised $142,782 raised of its $200,000 goal.
