Sonya Massey called the cops for help. They shot her dead in her own home

A Peoria County jury on Wednesday found former Sangamon County deputy Sean Grayson guilty of second-degree murder for fatally shooting Massey, an unarmed Black woman who had reported a prowler outside her home. The incident was caught partly on body camera footage — though Grayson’s own camera was switched on only after the shooting. He faces up to 20 years in prison, with sentencing set for January 29, 2026.
