CNN —An Illinois woman was fatally shot inside her home this month by a sheriff’s deputy who responded to her 911 call, and the deputy is now charged with murder in the case, a prosecutor said this week.
Sangamon County sheriff’s Deputy Sean Grayson and another deputy responded to the call around 12:50 a.m., authorities said.
The sheriff’s office said the deputies, who were not injured, reported the shooting around 1:20 a.m. Crump’s office has said Massey was unarmed.
When the two responding deputies encountered Massey, she “appeared to be calm, perhaps unwell, not aggressive,” the court document said.
Sean Grayson has been fired from his job as a Sangamon County sheriff's deputy and faces murder and other charges in Sonya Massey's death, officials said.
