(NewsNation) — Johnny Wactor’s mother, Scarlett, said she hopes that the men who killed her son are sentenced to life without parole.

Los Angeles police arrested four people Thursday in the fatal shooting of the former “General Hospital” actor.

“I want them away for a long time,” Wactor said Thursday on NewsNation’s “Banfield.” “If they only get so many years and then are out on parole, they’ll get out younger than Johnny was killed. I don’t see that as enough.” 

Robert Barceleau, Leonel Gutierrez and Sergio Estrada, all 18 years old, were booked on arrest warrants for murder. Frank Olano, 22, was booked for being an alleged accessory to the crime.

A news release from the LAPD states officers conducted search warrants that led to the arrests early Thursday morning and recovered additional evidence. Jail records show all suspects were being held in lieu of $2 million bail.

Wactor was shot May 25 during an attempted theft of a catalytic converter in Los Angeles. Police said 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 them fired at him without provocation and killed him.

Wactor was reportedly shielding his co-worker from the gunfire.

Wactor, 37, appeared as Brando Corbin in 164 episodes of the popular soap opera from 2020 to 2022. He also appeared in other shows such as “Westworld” and “Criminal Minds.” His agent, David Shaul, said just after Wactor’s death that he “always kept his chin up and kept striving for the best he could be.”

At a news conference earlier in the week, his mother described the feeling of losing him.

“Grief is my constant companion,” Scarlett Wactor said. “I can’t wish him happy birthday on August 31 — he would have been 38. I can’t ask if he’s coming home for Christmas. I can’t ask how his day went.”
