2020 Murder
On March 2020, Ryan shot his 64-year-old mother in the head as she was playing the piano. A day later he drove east in his car, which was packed with 12 Molotov cocktails, 3 guns, ammunition, and planned to kill Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Grantham instead changed his plan and turned himself in to the Vancouver police headquarters. His sentencing began on June 13, 2022. His lawyer argued that Ryan did it due to his mental illness including an intense period of clinical depression but prosecutors stated Ryan committed a "heartbreaking breach of trust," saying his mother was an excellent parent and he had no reason to fear her. On September 23, 2022, Ryan pleaded guilty to charges of second degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison. He will not be eligible for parole until 2036.
