Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – Illinois State Police released bodycam footage Monday afternoon in the shooting death of Sonya Massey. Former deputy Sean Grayson is currently in custody facing first-degree murder charges. Two deputies responded to the July 6 early morning 9-1-1 call reporting a prowler at her home in the 2800 block of Hoover Avenue in Springfield.
WARNING: Video contains extreme language and violence.
A press release from Sangamon County State’s Attorney John Milhiser accompanied release of the bodycam video release. It stated, “After a review of the ISP investigation, the evidence did not support a finding that former Deputy Sean Grayson was justified in his use of deadly force.”
On July 17, a grand jury returned a five-count indictment including three counts of first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, and official misconduct. An arrest warrant was issued the same day, and Grayson was taken into custody. He remains in custody.
