An autopsy report released Friday confirmed that 36-year-old Sonya Massey died from a gunshot wound to the head after being shot by a Sangamon County deputy. In a six-page document, the Sangamon County Coroner's Office says that Massey was shot beneath her left eye. 'Based on the information available to me, and on the autopsy findings, it is my opinion that Sonya Massey ... died as a result of a gunshot wound to the head,' the report states.

Sheriff Jack Campbell called Grayson's actions 'unjustifiable' and 'reckless.' 'Grayson had other options available that he should have used,' Campbell said in a statement Monday after the body camera footage was released. 'His actions were inexcusable and do not reflect the values or training of our office. He will now face judgment by the criminal justice system and will never again work in law enforcement.
