In Illinois, a former sheriff’s deputy has been charged with first-degree murder for fatally shooting Sonya Massey, an unarmed 36-year old Black woman, in the face inside her own home. Sean Grayson, who is white, was responding to a 911 call on July 6 from Massey, who reported a prowler near her home. But instead of helping her, the officer yelled at her and shot her three times, despite no signs of danger and as she held her hands up in fear. He also told his partner not to render aid to Massey after shooting her. The police killing has prompted community outrage and protests calling for justice for Sonya Massey.
