An Illinois officer was fired and charged with murder for fatally shooting a Black woman in her home after she called police for help.
In this image taken from body camera video released by Illinois State Police, Sonya Massey, left, talks with former Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Grayson outside her home in Springfield, Ill., July 6, 2024. Footage released Monday, July 22, by a prosecutor reveals a chaotic scene in which Massey, who called 911 for help, is shot in the face in her home by Grayson. Sean Grayson last week after he shot and killed Sonya Massey, a Black woman, after she called 911 for help.
After receiving permission from Grayson, Massey then walks over to her stove, grabs a boiling pot of water sitting on top of it and asks the deputies, “Where are you going?”“I rebuke you in the name of Jesus... I rebuke you,” Massey replied.Massey apologized and ducked for cover as the officers demand her to drop the pot, NBC Chicago reports.
Grayson was indicted by a grand jury last week on three counts of first-degree murder and one count each of aggravated battery with a firearm and official misconduct. He has entered a not guilty plea and was denied pretrial release, according to court records.
