‘General Hospital’ actor Johnny Wactor’s ex-fiancée pleads for officials to ‘make changes’ after star’s murder
Johnny Wactor’s ex-fiancée, Tessa Farrell, has publicly expressed her grief and frustration over the tragic murder of the “General Hospital” actor. In her plea, Farrell called for changes to be made in response to the rising crime rates, particularly in Los Angeles, where the incident took place. She emphasized the need for better laws and more effective law enforcement to prevent such senseless acts of violence in the future.
Farrell’s emotional appeal comes in the wake of Wactor’s death, which occurred during an attempted theft of his car’s catalytic converter. The actor was fatally shot while shielding a female co-worker from three armed robbers. This incident has reignited public discussions about crime rates, safety, and the need for legislative action to address these issues.
“We brought out the best in each other and then also the darkest parts of each other,” she mentioned. “Our lives were both forever changed.”
“It’s so sad that, you know, that this is how he had to get taken from us because he cared so much about doing the right thing and earning things,” she said. “He taught me that. I’m so proud of the man he’s become and it’s so sad crime in LA had to do this… These criminals can’t keep being on the street and they can’t keep being sent back and have no repercussions for their actions.”
“If the person who did this, if you’re watching, I’m sorry, but you shot the wrong guy,” Farrell said. “You can get a real job. I know the job market’s hard, but we’re all in it together. You don’t have to steal. Especially take a life over it. Human life is disregarded too easy. We have to make some changes as a community. Support each other and come together. Maybe that’s what Johnny’s gift is for us. Maybe he’s gifting that to all of us. He was full of gifts.”
The Los Angeles Police Department is actively seeking the three suspects involved in the shooting. As the investigation continues, Farrell’s plea for change serves as a poignant reminder of the broader societal issues surrounding crime and violence. Her call to action resonates with many who believe that more must be done to ensure the safety and security of individuals and communities.
She continued, “And the crazy thing is, he wasn’t trying to stop them from taking it. They could have just left or taken it, he probably would have just given them the car. They were very much a coward[ly] person… I hope they catch them, and I hope there’s justice for Johnny. That’s all I can hope and pray for. I will see him again. But down here on Earth, it’s going to be a very, very long road without him for me and his brothers.”
