Johnny Wactor’s colleague says the fight for justice is not over until there are convictions

Johnny WactorThe actor’s colleague, who was with him the night he was killed, is overcome with emotion over the arrest of his alleged killers, but says the actor’s family will not find peace until the suspects receive the maximum sentence .

Anita Joy told TMZ she felt a mix of joy and relief knowing that three people have been arrested and booked on murder charges — but adds that the real justice will be that these guys get serious sentences.

Johnny’s girlfriend says she’s optimistic about that because all the suspects are being held on high bail amounts. She initially worried that the suspects would not be tried as adults. Based on what she saw the night of the murder, she thought they may have been minors.

However, all three are 18 years old, so they will be tried as adults.

We broke the story…LAPD arrested 3 members of the Florencia 13 gang on Thursday on charges of murder, plus another gang member on charges of complicity — this after Johnny was fatally shot in the chest as he approached a group trying to steal his car’s catalytic converter outside the Level 8 restaurant in DTLA.

Anita believes the tragedy could have been prevented if Level 8 had provided safer parking for employees – something Anita said she and others continually identified as a problem, but she claims nothing was ever done about it.

She says that neither she nor Johnny’s family has heard from the restaurant since the murder; she says she has only received support from colleagues.
