Sonya Massey died from a gunshot wound after being shot in the face by Deputy Sean Grayson. The autopsy report detailed the entry under her left eye, perforating a carotid artery, and exiting her neck.
Grayson, charged with first-degree murder, was deemed unjustified by an Illinois State Police use-of-force expert. Massey was described as a loving mother and was killed while in her nightgown.
The incident sparked widespread condemnation and grief, with calls for police reform. President Biden urged passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act for necessary reforms in law enforcement.
