Deputy Sean Grayson, who fatally shot Sonya Massey in her Illinois home, claimed he interpreted her statement, 'I rebuke you in the name of Jesus,' as a threat to his life. Grayson's field report indicated that he feared Massey would grab a weapon when she ducked behind a counter after he drew his pistol. He faces charges of first-degree murder, aggravated battery, and official misconduct, and has pleaded not guilty. Massey's family is demanding the resignation of Sheriff Jack Campbell, citing Grayson's past issues that should have disqualified him from law enforcement. The incident has sparked nationwide protests against police violence, particularly concerning Black individuals in their homes. The family has retained civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who has yet to comment publicly on the case.
