TL;DR Summary

Former Illinois deputy Sean Grayson, convicted of fatally shooting Sonya Massey in her Springfield home after she reported a prowler, has died at 32 from stage 3 colon cancer, six months into a 20-year sentence; he had been denied medical release earlier this year. Massey’s killing, captured on bodycam, spurred protests and reforms including the Sonya Massey Act and a $10 million family settlement. Grayson apologized at sentencing, later arguing in a medical-release petition that Massey attacked him with boiling water.
