'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' Actor Sentenced to Life for Murdering His Mother

Forgive me for being late to this story.

TMZ reported Ryan Grantham, who starred in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie adaptation and known for his role as Jeffery Augustine in "Riverdale," was sentenced to life in prison.

The 24-year-old was sentenced almost 6 months after pleading guilty to a second-degree murder charge for his mom in 2020.

According to prosecutors, Grantham shot his mother in the back of the head while she was playing the piano. How heartbreaking. They go on to say that he confessed he was attempting to kill the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

This is sad. Rest in peace to the victim Barbara Waite and condolences to the family.
