Police shot and killed 36-year-old Sonya Massey after she called 911 for help. Deputy Sean Grayson is now charged with first-degree murder.
In the early hours of July 6, Sonya Massey called 911 looking for help with a suspected intruder. But within minutes of the officers entering her Springfield, Illinois, home, the 36-year-old mother was dead — fatally shot by Sangamon County sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson.
“Away from your hot steaming water,” he says. Massey and the officer both seem to laugh and she says, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” In an instant, the tenor in the room changes.
