General Hospital: Key Suspect to John's Murder

Trending
1) Ava Jerome
Ava and John had been in a dangerous alliance for some time. Eventually, John became a threat to her business and mob connections, Ava was on the verge of breaking the alliance but it would have caused her a lot. So, this stands as a clear motive for wanting him dead.
Ava would do anything to protect her empire, and anyone standing in her way would be a target. If not for the help of Sonny, she would have no problem eliminating John on her own.
2) Julian Jerome
Like his sister Ava, Julian Jerome has spent his life in crime. If John Cates had been involved in deals that conflicted with Julian’s interests, he might have seen him as a liability.
Julian’s constant struggle for power in the criminal underworld could have forced him to take drastic measures, especially if John posed a threat to his position or family.
3) Carly Spencer
It is no secret that John was after Kristina so that he could reach Sonny. Although Carly is not directly involved with the mob, she would do anything to protect her family, particularly Sonny.
If John Cates had threatened Sonny or put any of Carly’s children in danger, she could have become desperate. Carly, known for being impulsive and highly protective of her family, could easily have crossed a line, making her a probable suspect.
4) Alexis
Alexis and Sonny's daughter Kristina get in trouble when she steals a gun from the penthouse. Alexis finds the gun and decides to throw it away since she thinks Kristian might try to harm herself.
However, she later finds out that this is the same gun John was shot from. She decides to clear the evidence thinking Kristina killed the FBI Agent and gets caught.
