伊利诺伊州前副警长肖恩·格雷森因2024年7月致命枪击索尼娅·马西的案件被定罪后,于本周日在狱中去世1。根据其律师的证实,格雷森在被诊断患有已扩散至肝脏和肺部的结肠癌期间离世1。
2024年7月6日凌晨,格雷森在马西的住宅执勤时,因她报告家门外有可疑人员而对其开枪1。36岁的非裔女性马西在厨房中蹲下道歉,身体摄像头视频显示她遭到格雷森面部射击1。经陪审团判决,格雷森被认定犯二级谋杀罪,陪审团拒绝接受一级谋杀的指控1。2025年1月,格雷森被判处20年监禁1。
格雷森曾在5月因健康原因向伊利诺伊州囚犯审查委员会申请医学释放,但该申请遭到驳回1。案件发生后,伊利诺伊州立法者通过了《索尼娅·马西法案》,要求执法机构在招聘前对申请人的工作记录进行更严格的审查1。美国司法部随后启动民权调查,与桑加蒙县等机构达成协议以改进警务和应急反应1。
Sean Grayson, a former Illinois deputy sheriff convicted in the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey, has died in prison, according to his lawyer 1. Grayson was serving a 20-year sentence imposed in January 2025 after being convicted of second-degree murder in October 2024 1. At the time of his death, he was suffering from colon cancer that had spread to his liver and lungs 1.
The case stemmed from a shooting on July 6, 2024, at Massey's home 1. Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman, called authorities to report a suspicious person outside her residence and was shot by Grayson during the encounter 1. Body camera footage showed Massey crouching in her kitchen and apologizing before being shot in the face 1. Although prosecutors sought a first-degree murder conviction, the jury returned a second-degree murder verdict 1.
Grayson had requested medical release in May, citing his terminal cancer diagnosis, but the Illinois Prisoner Review Board denied the application 1. Following the incident, Illinois legislators passed the Sonya Massey Act, which mandates that law enforcement agencies conduct stricter background checks on job applicants' prior work records 1. The U.S. Department of Justice launched a civil rights investigation and reached agreements with Sangamon County and other agencies to improve policing practices and emergency response procedures 1.
