On the night of May 24, 2024, John went for a bartending shift at Level 8, in downtown Los Angeles. His friend and colleague, Anita Joy was also working the shift with him. They stay late to help clean up at the rooftop bar where he worked.

After realizing their intentions, Wactor stepped in front of the assailants, maintaining his composure as usual while informing them it was his car. As recounted by Joy, Wactor told the robbers he posed no threat, instead asking them to go. All the while, his hands extended to his sides in peace.

However, there was a gunshot, after which Wactor lost his balance and fell to the ground. Joy claimed that actor stood between her and the shooter. After they fell to the pavement, Joy tried supporting his body to keep him alive. Consequently, she asked for help before one of the bar’s security guards sprinted in their direction, calling 911.
