Johnny Wactor, the former General Hospital actor who was fatally shot on Saturday, has been set up with a GoFundMe to help support his loved ones.
Wactor’s mother, Scarlett Wactor, endorsed the crowdfunding effort opened by her friend and Johnny’s godmother, Michaelle Kinard.
“I want to raise money for his mother, Scarlett, and his brothers, Lance and Grant to be able to travel the distance of 2000 miles (the many times it may take) to take care of this heartbreaking business which they have been sentenced,” reads the GoFundMe page.
The fundraiser has a goal of $100,000, of which more than $35,000 has been raised as of this publication.
Kinard noted that “any excess donations” would “be donated to the charities the family chooses in memory of Johnny.”
Wactor’s godmother said her “heart is utterly broken” and added, “somehow we NEED justice for Johnny!”

“With God‘s will the killer will be arrested and the family will see him face to face. This may help bring closure to this tragedy,” Kinard added.
Wactor received a fatal shot after finishing a bartending shift in Downtown Los Angeles. He was reportedly walking with a female co-worker when he noticed three men attempting to steal a catalytic converter from his car.
According to Wactor’s brother Grant, the General Hospital alum saw the thieves and asked if he was being towed.
“He came across them and he thought his truck was being towed. So he said something to the guys, like, ‘Hey, are you towing?’” Grant Wactor told the Daily Mail. “And then once he turned around, he saw what was happening and he put his coworker behind him. And that’s when they shot him.”
Wactor appeared in the ABC soap between 2020 and 2022 as Brando Corbin.
