The actor’s mom, Scarlett, confirmed the news to TMZ, explaining that he was shot after he and a colleague allegedly caught three men trying to steal a catalytic converter from his car.

Watcor was killed when he confronted the alleged burglars — even though authorities told his mother that he did not put up a fight.

On Sunday, Wactor’s talent agent, David Shaul, shared a statement on his death, telling Variety, “Johnny Wactor was 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.

‘In the highs and lows of a challenging profession he always kept his chin up and kept striving for the best he could be. Our time with Johnny was a privilege we would wish on everyone. He would literally give you the shirt off his back. After over a decade together, he will leave a hole in our hearts forever.”

Wactor was also mourned by his ex-fiancée, Tessa Farrell, who posted a tearful video to TikTok Monday.

“If the person who did this, if you’re watching, I’m sorry, but you shot the wrong guy,” she said in the clip.

Farrell, who met Wactor in 2013 and remained his friend after they ended their engagement, told the person who killed her ex to “get a real job.”

“Human life is disregarded too easy,” the actress continued, urging her followers to “make changes as a community” and “support each other.”
