Wactor, 37, who appeared in 164 episodes of the soap opera from 2020 to 2022, was leaving his side job at a rooftop bar with a female colleague at around 3:25am Saturday in the area of West Pico Boulevard and South Hope Street, when he saw the three men near his vehicle. Believing he was being towed, he approached the men to try to discuss it.
One of the men then looked up and pointed a gun at Wactor, who put his body in front of his female co-worker as he was shot. The three men, who police say were all wearing masks, then fled the scene in another car. Wactor was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
