Johnny Wactor’s ex-fiancée, Tessa Farrell, mourned the late actor in a tearful video two days after his death.
“If the person who did this, if you’re watching, I’m sorry, but you shot the wrong guy,” the actress said in a lengthy TikTok video on Monday.
She told the murderer, who was attempting to steal the catalytic converter from Wactor’s car, to “get a real job.”

Farrell said, “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,” she continued, asking her followers to “make changes as a community” and “support each other.”
Farrell concluded, “Maybe that’s what Johnny’s gift is for us, maybe he’s gifting that to all of us.”
Farrell met Wactor in 2013 and remained his friend after they ended their “fiery” engagement.
Early Saturday morning, Wactor was shot by one of three masked individuals at his car on his way out of a rooftop bar with a co-worker.
He shielded the woman before being gunned down.
His talent agent called Wactor a “real moral example” in a touching statement announcing his death over the weekend (via PvNew).

“Johnny Wactor was spectacular human being,” David Shaul wrote, in part. “Not just a talented actor who was committed to his craft but a real moral example to everyone who knew him.”
Wactor’s fellow “General Hospital” alums have also shared social media sentiments since Saturday.
He played Brando Corbin for 164 episodes from 2020 to 2022.
Sofia Mattson, who acted as his love interest on the show, told her Instagram followers that she was “a better person for having known” Wactor.
No arrests have been made as of Tuesday.
