Protesters rally in Chicago for justice in deadly police shooting of Sonya Massey
CHICAGO — The call for justice is growing louder after a Sangamon County sheriff's deputy shot and killed Sonya Massey inside her home near Springfield three weeks ago. Her autopsy report was released Friday. A crowd gathered at Federal Plaza in downtown Chicago on Saturday for another rally. Most people at Saturday's rally had seen the body camera video. They shouted chants, including 'justice for Sonya Massey.' 'We saw them murder Sonya Massey,' one speaker said.
I swear to f****** God. I'll shoot you right in the f******face.' Moments later, Grayson fires, killing Massey. 'Sonya Massey was a mother. She was a sister. She is a daughter. She's your friend. She's your family member,' another speaker said. Grayson, now charged with murder, worked for six law enforcement agencies in four years. He was even discharged from the Army for misconduct.
