Illinois Sheriff’s Deputy Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for Shooting Sonya Massey

A former sheriff’s deputy in Illinois has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for fatally shooting Sonya Massey, a Black mother of two who had called 911 about a suspected prowler in July 2024. The deputy, Sean Grayson, responded to the 911 call and shot Massey in her own kitchen. He was convicted in October of second-degree murder. Ahead of the sentencing, Massey’s mother, Donna Massey, told the court, “Today, I’m afraid to call the police in fear that I might end up like Sonya.”
