Ryan Realbuto Shooting; Pittsford Mendon Graduate, Ryan Realbuto Shot And Killed In Washington, D.C

A 2019 Pittsford-Mendon graduate named Ryan Realbuto was shot and died on South Dakota Avenue NE in Washington, D.C., on Thursday at approximately 10:04 p.m.

When police arrived at the scene of the reported shooting, they discovered that the man had been shot; it appeared that he had been the victim of a robbery. After being brought to a nearby hospital, he passed away.

Bret Vetter of News10NBC met with Ryan’s mother on Friday evening. Although she was reluctant to appear on television, she claimed to have spoken with D.C. investigators who informed her that Ryan was shot while returning home from a church youth event with two of his buddies.

According to investigators, when a car drew up and the individuals inside requested for money, one of the people inside got out, and when no money was offered, the person inside shot Ryan.

Ryan Realbuto was employed as a volunteer with the Catholic group Cap Corps, also known as the Capuchin Franciscan Volunteer Corps, located in Washington, D.C.

There, young people live in communal housing and spend a year volunteering in the community, working in fields like as education, social services, healthcare, and refugee resettlement. He was placed to assist with job coaching at a Catholic high school.

As a house friar for the Cap Corps, Brother Stephen Cantwell claims to have met Ryan during the previous summer. He recalls him as an independent worker who was eager to get to work and assist as many people as he could.

Brother Stephen stated, “He laughed so hard.” He exuded a positive spirit. Many people experience a great deal of anxiety when they enroll in a new program or anything similar for the first time.

Almost immediately, he exuded happiness and contentment. He was also quite adaptable. Yes, I want to try it,’ he said. Yes, it is what I want to do. He was ecstatic to be joining the Cap Corps, meeting new people, and beginning his ministry.

“He was very passionate to do some sort of service,” the speaker continued. I don’t see him going out and trying to get rich quick. He was good with people and mainly just did things because he loved them.

Ryan graduated from St. Bonaventure University last year, and Tom Missel, chief communications officer, released the following statement: “We were devastated to learn of Ryan’s death.” Ryan exemplified what it meant to be a Bonaventure student by always upholding our moral principles of honesty and compassion.

He spent three years mentoring new freshmen as a peer coach and was very active in University Ministries. Ryan’s family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers.

Another statement was made by Pat Mallery, the Rotary advisor to the Pittsford Interact Clubs: “This is heartbreaking.”

During his four years of high school, Ryan Realbuto was an extremely involved member of the Pittsford Mendon Interact Club.

During his sophomore and junior years, he was a member of the club’s leadership team and completed more hours of service than any other member. Ryan really did have a helpful hand and a kind heart.

His concern for youth with disabilities was particularly strong, and he helped out at several Special Olympics events, such as the State Winter Games in Rochester.
