Officials have released body camera video that reveals a chaotic scene in which a Black woman in Illinois, who called 911 for help, was shot in the face in her home by a white sheriff's deputy.
Eric Levenson, Jillian Sykes and Brad Parks, CNNOfficials have released body camera video that reveals a chaotic scene in which a Black woman in Illinois, who called 911 for help, was shot in the face in her home by a white sheriff's deputy.Body-camera footage showing the fatal police shooting of Sonya Massey , a 36-year-old Black woman who had called 911 for help, was released Monday in a case that has led to murder charges against a deputy.
Minutes after the shooting, Grayson speaks to another law enforcement figure. "She had boiling water and came at me with boiling water," he says in the video. "She said she was going to rebuke me in the name of Jesus and came at with boiling water."The release of the video comes about two weeks after the fatal shooting and just days after Grayson was charged in her death.
According to footage from the other deputy's body camera, the incident began with the deputies walking around Massey's yard and finding a vehicle with broken windows. They then knock on the door and speak with her, and she struggles to understand and answer some questions about the vehicle and about herself.
Grayson later goes to his vehicle to get his own medical supplies. When he gets back to the house, he asks if there's anything he can do, but is told no.Next, Grayson leaves the house and speaks to a group of law enforcement officers outside. "Yeah I'm good, this f**king b*tch is crazy," he says, according to the footage.
"You're used to having 'the talk' with boys, but now I guess we have to talk to our girls about ... their interactions with the police," Wilburn said."Sonya was a daddy's girl. She never ended a conversation - whether by text or telephone or in person - without saying, 'Daddy, I love you.' And that's the last message I have from my daughter that's saved on my voicemail, was 'Daddy, I love you'," he said.
A review of the Illinois State Police investigation into the shooting "does not support a finding that ... Grayson was justified in his use of deadly force," the state's attorney for the county, John Milhiser, said in a July 17 news release. "There were a number of ways to avoid this starting with better tactics from the outset," said CNN Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller, "but even if you forgive that and limit the observations to the last few seconds, there were still options of a calmer dialogue, more distance between the subject and them, a taser rather than a firearm."
