Ex-Illinois sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson has been convicted of second-degree murder after fatally shooting a Black woman who called 911 for help last year.
Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old single mother of two teenagers, called 911 on July 6, 2024, to report a suspected prowler on her Springfield property. When Grayson responded, he shot Massey in her home after confronting her over a pot of hot water she was holding.
