Johnny Wactor, the former General Hospital actor, tragically lost his life over the weekend in a fatal shooting incident. As a means of supporting his grieving family during this difficult time, a GoFundMe campaign has been set up to assist with the financial burden they are facing.
Goal and Progress
The fundraiser has a goal of $100,000, with over $35,000 already raised at the time of this article’s publication. The campaign was initiated by Wactor’s grandmother, Michaelle Kinard, with the intention of providing financial assistance to Wactor’s mother, Scarlett, and his two brothers, Lance and Grant.
Kinard expressed her heartbreak over the tragic loss, stating that the family is in desperate need of justice for Johnny. She believes that with divine intervention, the perpetrator responsible for Wactor’s death will be brought to justice, bringing a sense of closure to the family in the midst of this tragedy.
The fatal incident occurred as Wactor was leaving his bartending shift in Downtown Los Angeles. Upon noticing individuals attempting to steal a catalytic converter from his vehicle, Wactor approached them, mistaking their actions for a towing service. Tragically, this encounter led to his untimely death when the perpetrators opened fire, leaving Wactor fatally wounded.

His sudden and senseless passing has left a void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him, prompting an outpouring of support and remembrance in his honor.
