Ryan is a fifteen-year-old autistic student at Apple Valley Valley High School, was shot and killed by the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department because he was in possession of a gardening tool. Ryan ran track and aspired to be an engineer since he loved robotics, so his family was shocked to learn of his death. and was always fiercely devoted to his mother.
“As a mother to a black autistic, non-speaking boy, this is my absolute worst fear.
Justice for Ryan Gainer. My condolences to his family.”
“Ryan’s future was stolen from him. He deserved a system that recognized his humanity and offered support, not one that ended his life. He was a cross-country runner and wanted to be an engineer. His dreams and his aspirations should have been nurtured, not violently taken away.”
