SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The family of Sonya Massey is calling for justice after police released body-camera footage Monday of an Illinois sheriff’s deputy fatally shooting Massey at her home in Springfield.

In body-cam footage showing her final moments, Massey, 36, ducked and apologized to former Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Grayson seconds before he shot the Black woman three times in her home, with one fatal blow to the head.

An Illinois grand jury indicted Grayson, 30, who is white, last week. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and official misconduct.

Grayson, who was fired from his job last week, is being held in the Sangamon County Jail without bond. If convicted, he faces prison sentences of 45 years to life for murder, six to 30 years for battery, and two to five years for misconduct.

He should get locked up and throw away the key, she wasn't even close to him, they never would have shot a pink toe woman like that. He told her to go get the pot and then told the other officer not to help her smh

My question is why did he even pull out his gun? The sister is the one that called the police, but once he got there, she was not a threat.

The issue is like when folks get in trouble-they leave as fast as they can before anyone has a chance to start up paper work.

Same thing happens in schools with kids that cause trouble or get busted for something-the parent yanks them out before the paper trail really starts.

So when we get stuff like this-most don't have a paper trail that shows that they shouldn't have been hired. Or the kid was a trouble maker but no documentation is avaiable.

White privilege and white supremacy, in law enforcement that work history is a red flag something is wrong with the applicant and in most cases will get the application withdrawn.

You are right, all parties involved in his hiring from the background investigators to those signing off on his hiring should be fired.
 
Red Flags Everywhere:

The Illinois deputy who fatally shot Sonya Massey in her home while responding to her 911 call was discharged from the U.S. Army for “misconduct (serious offense),” according to documents obtained by ABC News.

Sean Grayson, the former Sangamon County sheriff’s deputy, was discharged on February 24, 2016, after beginning service in the U.S. Army on May 5, 2014. He served for a total of one year, nine months and 19 days, Grayson’s certificate of discharge from active duty shows.

The U.S. Army, citing the Privacy Act and Department of Defense policy, said it is prevented from releasing information relating to the misconduct of low-level employees or characterization of service at discharge.

ABC News has also learned that Grayson, 30, was charged with two DUI offenses in Macoupin County, Illinois, in August 2015 and July 2016, according to court documents.

Grayson pleaded guilty to both charges. He paid over $1,320 in fines and had his vehicle impounded as a result of the 2015 incident. In 2016, Grayson paid over $2,400 in fines, according to court records.

Grayson's attorney, Dan Fultz, declined to comment.

How did Sonya Massey die?

Sonya Massey called the police to report a suspected prowler outside her home, but tensions escalated quickly.

Springfield also has a troubling legacy of racial violence. According to a Guardian report, she passed away at the same hospital where her ancestor William Donnegan died.

Donnegan was lynched during the 1908 Springfield Race Riot, an event that spurred the formation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).
 
My son is a cop and I told him that it is too easy to become a police officer. In my opinion there should be required collegiate courses that have been taken, every officer must be a clerical officer for 4 years and provide clerical work for every part of the department, be part of ride alongs as support with no gun, must take yearly social community policing courses, and finally be stopped by surprise after becoming an officer and arrested and sent through booking to see how it feels to be on the other side.
