Illinois Deputy Indicted in Fatal Shooting Case

Sean Grayson, a former Sangamon County Deputy in Illinois, shot Sonya Massey in the face during a dispute over a pot of hot water, leading to murder charges. Grayson drew his weapon after Massey threw hot water, and despite her compliance, shot her, which was deemed unjustified by a use-of-force review. The incident sparked outrage and legal proceedings, with Grayson pleading not guilty and being held without bail. Grayson's actions, including not providing aid to Massey post-shooting, were heavily criticized, highlighting concerns about law enforcement conduct and accountability.
