Sean Grayson, a Sangamon County sheriff's deputy, faces first-degree murder charges for fatally shooting Sonya Massey in her home after she called 911. Prosecutors allege Grayson shot Massey in the face and told another deputy not to help her.
Grayson was indicted on first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, and official misconduct after an investigation. He was denied bond, fired from his position, and faces life in prison if convicted.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, representing Massey's family, condemned Grayson's actions, stating that Massey sought protection by calling 911 but was fatally shot by Grayson, who also prevented aid from being given.
