An Illinois sheriff’s deputy has been charged with murder in the death of a Black woman after a tragic incident in her home. The former deputy, Sean Grayson, allegedly shot the woman in the face during a tense moment over a pot of water and then discouraged his partner from trying to save her.
The details of the incident were revealed in a court document filed in support of keeping Grayson in custody without bond. The court denied Grayson pretrial release at a hearing in Springfield.
