Ms. Massey had called emergency services because she believed an intruder had entered her home, prosecutors said. Mr. Grayson, 30, was charged with murder and was fired last month. Body camera footage from the shooting shows that Mr. Grayson and his partner searched outside of Ms. Massey’s home before they followed her inside. After she provided the officers with her identification, she went to the kitchen to remove a pot of water from the stove. As she was handling the pot, several feet away from the deputies, Ms. Massey said twice to the deputies, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.”
