Illinois prison officials say the former sheriff’s deputy who killed Sonya Massey won't get an early medical release from his two-decade prison sentence. Sean Grayson was convicted of second-degree murder for killing Massey, a Black woman, after she called 911 about a possible prowler. The state Prisoner Review Board voted unanimously Friday to deny Grayson's application. Grayson, who is white, had been diagnosed with colon cancer before the 2024 shooting. His attorney noted that the cancer had advanced. Massey's family attorneys said the board “made the right decision.” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker called Massey's killing “a profound loss.”
