Ryan Nicholas LeRoux
Age :21
Gender :Male
Race : Black
Date : 07/16/2021
Location : 18273 Flower Hill Way
City : Gaithersburg
County : Montgomery
State : Maryland
Agency : Montgomery County Police Department
Officer(s) : Officers Brooks Inman, Sara Vaughan, John Cerny, and Corporal Romund Schmuck
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during a disturbance call
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On July 16, 2021, at approximately 9:15 p.m., Montgomery County Police Department officers responded to a McDonald's at 18273 Flower Hill Way in Gaithersburg, Maryland, following reports of a customer refusing to pay or move his vehicle in the drive-thru lane. Upon arrival, officers found 21-year-old Ryan Nicholas LeRoux seated in the driver's seat of a white Honda CRV, with a handgun visible on the front passenger seat.
.
Officers attempted to engage with LeRoux for approximately 30 minutes, instructing him to show his hands and exit the vehicle. LeRoux, who was reportedly experiencing a mental health crisis, remained unresponsive to commands. During the standoff, officers observed LeRoux make movements interpreted as reaching for the firearm. At approximately 11:02 p.m., perceiving an imminent threat, four officers—Brooks Inman, Sara Vaughan, John Cerny, and Corporal Romund Schmuck—discharged their weapons, fatally striking LeRoux.
.
A loaded Glock 27 handgun was recovered from LeRoux's vehicle. The involved officers were placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. In April 2022, a Montgomery County grand jury declined to indict the officers, determining that the shooting was legally justified.
.
LeRoux's family has since filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Montgomery County and the officers involved, alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act and questioning the adequacy of the police response to individuals experiencing mental health crises.
