Johnny Wactor's ex-fiancee Tessa Farrell pleads for information on his death

Johnny Wactor's ex-fiancée, Tessa Farrell, is speaking out after the "General Hospital" actor's tragic shooting death over the weekend at just 37 years old. 

In an exclusive interview with ET's Kevin Frazier, the "Barbee Rehab" actress shared that she is still in shock and disbelief over the loss of her former partner, whom she originally met in 2013 after moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting. While they ultimately ended their brief engagement in the late 2010s, Farrell says they remained friends until his death on Saturday at the hands of an unidentified shooter.

She held back tears as she spoke about the "good guy" who reportedly shielded a female co-worker from gunfire as he was walking her to her car after a bartending shift in downtown Los Angeles. Reports state the pair, who worked together at Level 8 Nightclub, came out to find armed strangers around Wactor's car. He stepped in front of the co-worker to protect her.

During her interview with ET, a heartbroken Farrell took a moment to show off her engagement ring -- a family heirloom from her grandparents, who were married for 50 years -- which she says now has more significance than ever after the horrific turn of events. Farrell explained that when she and Wactor decided to get engaged, they didn't have a ring but chose to use the piece of jewellery she already held dear to her heart to signify their bond.

Farrell pleaded for anyone who may have information on Johnny Wactor's shooting death to come forward, hoping for justice and closure.
