GILBERT, AZ (AZ Family) — A teenager who was part of a group of teens who attacked other teens in the East Valley will serve time in prison for his crimes.

The Maricopa County District Attorney’s Office announced Thursday that 19-year-old Kyler Renner was sentenced to two years in prison for his involvement in three separate cases.

He was part of a plea deal as prosecutors said he pleaded guilty to solicitation to commit possession of narcotics for sale and possession of drug paraphernalia, both felonies, and a misdemeanor charge of aggravated assault.

In December 2022, Renner was part of a group of teenagers and young adults who assaulted someone in a parking lot on Vaughn Avenue in downtown Gilbert near Gilbert and Guadalupe roads.

One of the suspects had brass knuckles, but it’s unclear if he hit the victim.

The case went cold until December 2023, following the killing of 16-year-old Preston Lord, when the string of cases of violence against teenagers in the East Valley by a group known as the “Gilbert Goons” went viral.

Renner and another suspect, Gage Garrison, were arrested for their involvement. However, Renner is not one of the seven teenagers charged in Lord’s death.

On March 29, 2023, Renner was pulled over and arrested for having various drugs he planned to sell, such as fentanyl, prosecutors said.

Police reports say he admitted to being a drug user, taking about 30 fentanyl pills a day.

In January 2024, following his arrest, police searched Gilbert’s home and found drug paraphernalia.

Renner was indicted in February.
