So I’m angry, I’m sad and I’m all of the feelings at once … but above all, I am here for Johnny’s justice.” “My friend of 8 years went from laughing together, working side by side, leaving our bartending shift and walking to our cars, to him dying in my arms in the streets of DTLA in the dark hours of 3 a.m.,” Joy continued, adding that the “basic details of this horrific story” comes down “to a few criminals trying to steal a car part.” “Everything happened in an instant,” the post continued. “I’ve come to describe it as a glass of water that gets tipped over and you’re scrambling to grab it and save it from spilling out completely but it just runs through your fingertips and is gone.” She explained how the pair had “cautiously approached the men, questioning what they were doing, at first thinking the car was being towed” and believing they were “no threat.” “Johnny kept his cool as he always did, simply stating that it was his car and for them to leave. Hands open to his sides in peace,” Joy added in the post. “Johnny was between me and the man who shot him – as I heard the shot ring into the night, he forcefully tumbled back into my arms and as I grabbed for him, I shouted, ‘Hunny you ok?!’ And he only responded, ‘Nope! Shot!'” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Joy said Wactor fell “onto the street,” so she put her “legs under him and tried to hold his body up while screaming for help and screaming at him to stay with me.” A security guard from the bar came and called 911 plus performed CPR on Wactor, but Joy said he was unable to “stop the bleeding.” She wrote the shot was “too close range” and “too extreme of a wound for him to survive it, but my God he fought to stay.” Joy concluded by saying she’s “utterly heartbroken and so very angry.” “My only peace is that I was with him and this didn’t happen to him alone – my only other peace will be seeing these awful men brought to justice,” she said.
