The former sheriff’s deputy who killed Sonya Massey worked at 6 law enforcement agencies over 4 years.
The Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office in Illinois terminated former deputy Sean Grayson after he killed Massey without provocation on July 6.
The Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board (ILETSB) records, obtained by ABC News, show that Grayson, 30, worked three full-time and three part-time jobs in four police departments and two sheriff’s offices over the past four years.
He resigned from three departments. His reason for leaving 2 jobs is listed as “other.”
Massey, 36, called police to report a prowler in her house just before 1 a.m. on July 6. Grayson and another deputy responded to the 911 call. They found a black SUV with broken windows in the driveway.
Body cam footage shows Grayson and Massey joking about a pot of hot water. When he suggested she might throw it at him, Massey told the deputy, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.”
Grayson drew his pistol and shouted, “You’d better f***ing not! I’ll f***ing shoot you in your f***ing face!”
Massey quickly apologized and ducked down behind a counter, covering her ears with 2 oven mitts. When she stood up again, Grayson shot her three times in the face. One bullet pierced her eye.
A review by Illinois State Police found that Grayson’s use of deadly force was not justified. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.
RIP
