LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón announced Aug. 19 he will seek murder charges against two men suspected of killing “General Hospital” actor Johnny Wactor, with one facing an additional special charge that could send him to prison without the possibility of parole.

Four suspects were arrested in the case Thursday and remain in custody. All four have lengthy criminal records dating to when they were juveniles.
