WASHINGTON (WAND) — The family of Sonya Massey is in Washington with civil rights attorney Ben Crump. They are meeting with the Congressional Black caucus in an effort to get police reform legislation passed by congress.

Massey was shot to death by a Sangamon County Deputy inside her Springfield home July 6th. The deputy, Sean Grayson, has been indicted on five criminal counts including first degree murder.
The caucus currently has reform bills pending in the House and Senate.
Crump was with the Massey family and other families who lost loved ones in law enforcement involved shootings. He said Massey needed a helping hand, “not a bullet to the face.”
