This is so tragic and senseless. He was a great actor and seemed like a great person off-screen. Condolences to his family.
That's what they all say when someone dies
He was so kind.
Lord, wrap your arms around Johnny's family....
🙏🏽💜🕊️
Amen
It’s incredible that his mother is able to speak so clearly so concisely so soon after such a tragedy. I’m sure she is absolutely broken inside but showing such strength here.
Absolutely horrible,what an amazing actor he was! Loved him on GH!
This reminds of the three surfers in Mexico recently who interrupted thieves stealing their tires.
Reminds me of the entire West Coast.
Praying for the family for peace and comfort in Christ alone.
This Catalytic Converter Epidemic needs to end. Govt needs to toughen laws for any mechanic making these type of transactions. This good man has lost his life because of it. RIP
The government cannot regulate Morality.
We General Hospital fans are so sorry for his mom and brothers....We really loved him, and wish he had stayed on GH, now even more than ever!
my prayers for him n his family
Wow. This is so terrible. We already missed BRANDO.😢
Condolences to Johnny’s Family. You raised a great guy.🙏🏽💜🕊️
Exactly I had been thinking when GH was going to bring him back, and remember he had done commercials also,❤
Senseless violence
Too many guns in America.
Close the border
*This is what happens when you are soft on crime.*
Gone too soon. He is also a good looking guy😢
My young cousin was shot & killed in front of his home in las vegas last year this time still havent found his killer
Thoughts And Prayers For Your Great Family Over Your Tremendous Loss GOD Knows Everything!!!!
They should talk to the girl that was with him she knows something she can describe them and tell them what the car looks like and everything someone needs to talk to her
can't describe them because of ...you no....melanin n pc BS..
Not if they had masks on!
True, at 3am it would be hard to try to describe the person who killed him.
You don't think they have talked to her? Lolol
It's not likely that she saw anything significant: it was around 3am, it was dark, and the guys were wearing masks. If anyone would have been able to say what he saw, it would have been this actor, because he could have been close enough to see a licence plate or something else, but they eliminated him specifically because he interrupted the crime and could have been a witness.
Rest In peace, sir, and I pray that they find suspects.
I hope the suspects get away, it wouldn't be fair to the all the other victims of crime in LA for them to be caught. We are all created equal, johnny is no better because he is a rich white male.

Yeah. Let’s close all the jails and prisons.🙄
@@joiisler8986 We should prisons are racist.
Dreadfully sad!
My guess is the perpetrators had a long stretch of priors of theft and violent crimes and have gotten off more times than you can count.
Rest in Peace actor 🙏🙏🙏!
My heart is breaking for his family and friends. So many of us who didn't know him but loved him as an actor are shocked, angry and devastated so I can't imagine how much his family and friends are hurting.💔. Such a senseless murder of a good man. Sending love and my deepest condolences to his family and friends ♥️. Praying they find these monsters soon and they get no mercy, just as they showed none to Johnny.
SAD 😢😢😢.
My condolences to Johnny's family. I was a huge fan. I hope they catch these criminals.
So sad
This is so sad! He was such a great actor! RIP
So senseless. RIP
You would think that knowing that theft of these converters is a problem, that they would try to use metals in the making of them that weren't so valuable. How horrific and sad. May he RIP.
We cannot keep capitulating to the Bad Guys.
People should stop using stuff, because robbers want to steal it? That is the tardest comment I've read today.
Who knows that the Brothers wasn't the one that was wearing mask.
So sorry for your loss! You all will be in my prayers
3 AM is probably the most dangerous time!
Its a HORRIBLE TRAGEDY but DON'T EVER walk up on someone at 3 o'clock in the morning even if they are screwing with your car.
RIP Brando
So senseless… R.I.P.
My heart and preys go out to Johnny and his family and loved ones 😭💔🙏🕯️💫 May your God bless you and help your family and loved ones to cope with this horrifying loss 💫✨😓💔😢🙏✝️ 🕊️🕯️🌹🇨🇦
No. Not Wactor the Actor. Just no.
I pray they find the killers! It is so sad.
he was a lovely person. warm and embracing. funny, kind, caring, smart, very chivalrous. he had this infectious kind of personality that you instantly felt like he was a life long friend. he just had this spark and the desire to be as genuine to others as he could. i'm honored to have met him a few times and to have shared some awesome fun laughing memories with him.
omg heartfelt condolences to his loving family and friends ❤...what a beacon of prosperity and blessing come to a tragic end ...we are shocked and confused 😕 that this happen to someone so incredible.
Such a needless tragedy. May he R.I.P.
Sooooo very sad.😢 Folks, stop buying Prius' & the manufacturer will make the necessary changes.
🙏💙🙏
😢great loss...sad
Stop Voting Democrat!!
Living in L.A. need to conceal carry.
Keep voting democrat!!! Working out great in the blue states!!!!
🙏🏼💔
💔💔🕯️
So cheap it's sad
There is no law in California .
There is no justice .
😢😢
The family sued everyone
RIP
The news media won't spend no more than 2 and a 1/2 minutes on this story. I wonder why?
People like you complaining, probably.
Just another day in democrat LA .
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ghetto’fornia... sad, but that’s what we’ve become.
There is crime everywhere and at every time in History, sadly. Being racist helps no one.
Sounds like a set up. Was he sacrificed?
Johnny Wacner was another soap star who bit the dust. It's not that he deserved to be killed. I was watching a show that he was not in ("Caroline in the City" on RUclips) where the title character talked Christmas with her loved ones. To change the subject, I was reading online. What a mess!
The family well get justice and those monsters well get caught. He was a warm gentle kind man who would help anyone. lts sad wat they done just for a car theft. poor Johnny he did not deserve this. He was so young and had a long life to go. l promise justice well be done. The family and Johnny could rest. l want to give my prayers and thought to the family.
The really sad part is they're probably not going to catch the culprits for many years--if at all.
Who shot him?
They don't want to mention the racial or ethnic description of the killers.
@@jimfesta8981 That has to change, and soon. Now seems right. Enough is enough.
Did u not listen? The person had a mask on
Ray ray
Or Jose
Pookie
I hope they sued the city of LA because they this could have been prevented if they weren't so fking soft on crime .
Illegals 💯

@@jimfesta8981 😆 them sweetish gangs do it every time domt they hahahhaa
Family prays theyre brought to justice? Keep hoping. The Lord gave you a brain for deductive reasoning. Theres a 25% they get caught and if they do, theyre out in 2 years. If that was my brother, or another family member, im taking matters into my own hands (never could i have imagined getting to this point, but our justice system is an absolute joke and California's even more so).
This is probably all a lie. I don't believe this was mostly a peaceful encounter. Her son probably ran over and tried to fight the guys, stomping them.
I'll wait until the true story is released.
Did he express what it was like living as a hot dude with the ladies, assuming he's straight, any insight?
Bidens America...and blkz
Keep crying 😂
What?
Bless our hateful heart. I hope u find peace in old age. When we are 80 we won't care about bs policies
they're so upset they couldn't wait to get on TV
Can’t tell people how to grieve. Maybe one of those thieves will see this, and grow a conscience.
Blame Joe and the Democrats for all of this. CNN/MSNBC too.
Blame the theives. Do tell what Biden has to do with this?
@@zenseed75 Easy scapegoat.

Well I guess when the acting jobs dry up become a bartender Oops
Omg I loved him on GH
So sad
