Ryan Francis (The Ryan Francis Story)

On May 13, 2006, the USC community mourned the death of Ryan Francis, the point guard with the infectious smile who was shot and killed while visiting his mother in Louisiana.

Nearly a decade later, TaRhonda Bazille is producing a documentary, The Ryan Francis Story, to tell Francis’ tragic story.

“We believe documenting and sharing his life will spark a change in our communities, a change we so desperately need,” Bazille wrote on the Kickstarter page.
