Four people have been arrested over the fatal shooting of actor Johnny Wactor in Los Angeles.
The suspects were on Thursday detained by LA police over the killing of the General Hospital star, who was gunned down as he left work in May.
Robert Barceleau, Leonel Gutierrez, and Sergio Estrada, all 18 years old, were arrested on suspicion of murder. Frank Olano, 22, was arrested for being an alleged accessory to the crime.Â
Wactor was shot and killed when he interrupted thieves who were stealing the catalytic converter from his car at about 3.30am on Saturday, May 25.
The 37-year-old had left work at a rooftop bar with a co-worker when he saw three men who had hoisted his car. Police said one of the men then fired at Wactor without provocation and killed him.
The men fled in a car before Wactor was taken to a hospital where he was declared dead. The cause of death was a gunshot wound to his chest.
The suspects, who reside in Huntington Park, Inglewood and cities in LA County, are being held in lieu of $2 million bail.
Police carried out search warrants that led to the arrests on Thursday morning and recovered evidence from properties in LA.

Earlier this month police had asked for the public’s help in identifying the suspects and released surveillance images of them and their getaway car.
