Sean Grayson, the former Sangamon County Deputy convicted of second-degree murder, sits in the Sangamon County Jail to await sentencing.
Former Sangamon County Sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson is set to be sentenced on Thursday for the deadly shooting of Sonya Massey. This case has sparked statewide outrage, legislative change, and renewed scrutiny of police use of force in Illinois. Grayson was convicted last month of second-degree murder for the July 2024 shooting that killed Massey inside her Springfield home. Prosecutors argued Grayson used unreasonable and excessive force during a late-night response call, while the defense maintained Grayson feared for his safety.
