The co-worker and friend who was with Johnny Wactor when the former 'General Hospital' actor was shot and killed is speaking out about the tragic night, saying it all happened in an instant.

"Going through that together, I'm grateful that I was there for him and he was not alone," said Anita Joy."Going through that together, I'm grateful that I was there for him and he was not alone," said Anita Joy. "That's been the only peaceful thing for his mom and I when we walk.

The two other workers went a different direction as Joy and Wactor walked toward their vehicles. They were parked next to each other. "A man is down like on his knees putting a jack under the car and he had the car halfway jacked up and then we realize this is not tow people," said Joy. "He had a ski mask on so we were just suddenly like, 'Oh no, you know, this is bad.'"

"At this point, his arms were down at his sides and he was just kind of limp. He was just kind of flickering in and out, but he was also trying to gasp for air, and I think that it just kind of obliterated his lung, basically. He's just kind of doing these deep gasps to try to get some air and I'm just screaming at him, 'Johnny! Stay with me, stay with me.'""I'm screaming at him, 'Johnny, stay with me.

"As the ambulance pulls up, he started coughing up blood, and he just slipped away in my arms right there," said Joy.Joy broke her silenceWactor's family spoke out on "Good Morning America" in an interview Tuesday and said they were desperate for answers in their son and brother's case."Everybody has their different experience about their friends and the people in their lives," she said.

We understand that a tragedy such as this impacts everyone differently and profoundly. We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for everyone at Level 8.''
