Suspects with an alleged connection to General Hospital actor Johnny Wactor‘s death have been detained in Los Angeles on August 15.

Police revealed that the suspects fled the scene in a stolen 2018 black Infiniti Q50. The investigation has reportedly been focused on Florencia 13 gang members who are tied to catalytic converter thefts in the area.

As mentioned above, the investigation uncovered photos of the suspects and the getaway vehicle, which were shared with the public, giving them a chance to share any details with authorities.

At the time of Wactor’s death, his talent agent David Shaul shared the following statement with Variety: “Johnny Wactor was a spectacular human being. Not just a talented actor who was committed to his craft but a real moral example to everyone who knew him. Standing for hard work, tenacity and a never give up attitude.
