Los Angeles police have arrested four individuals in connection with the fatal shooting of former "General Hospital" actor Johnny Wactor. The suspects include Robert Barceleau, Leonel Gutierrez, and Sergio Estrada, all 18, and Frank Olano, 22, who is accused of being an accessory to the crime.

Each suspect is being held on $2 million bail, according to jail records. Authorities have not released details on whether the suspects have legal representation. The arrests were made following search warrants executed at multiple Los Angeles locations, which also yielded additional evidence, the LAPD reported.

Johnny Wactor was fatally shot on May 25 when he confronted thieves attempting to steal the catalytic converter from his car. The actor, known for his role as Brando Corbin on 'General Hospital,' was declared dead at the hospital. Last week, Wactor's mother expressed her grief, saying, 'Grief is my constant companion.'
