Four people have been arrested in Los Angeles for allegedly killing American actor Johnny Wactor while trying to steal a part from his car.

Three - Robert Barceleau, Leonel Gutierrez, and Sergio Estrada - were arrested for murder.

A fourth, Frank Olano, faces a charge of accessory to murder, according to police.

The 37-year-old actor, who was featured in the soap opera General Hospital, was shot in the early morning of 25 May.

Authorities say he had finished a bartending shift at a bar in downtown Los Angeles and was walking to his car when he was confronted by three people. The trio had Wactor's vehicle hoisted up with a floor jack and were "in the process of stealing the catalytic converter", Los Angeles police said.
