Ex-Illinois sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson has been convicted of second-degree murder after he fatally shot a Black woman in her home after she called 911 for help last year.

Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old single mother of two teenagers, called 911 on July 6, 2024, to report a suspected prowler on her property near Springfield. When Grayson responded, he shot Massey in her home after confronting her over a pot of hot water she was holding.

Grayson was convicted on Wednesday afternoon. He’ll be sentenced on January 29.
