Prosecutors on Monday released body-camera footage of an Illinois sheriff’s
deputy shooting an unarmed Black woman in her house this month after she called
911 to report a prowler. The videos were made public five days after the deputy
was charged with first-degree murder.

The footage shows Sean Grayson and another Sangamon County sheriff’s deputy
inspecting the property around Sonya Massey’s house early on July 6, followed by
18 minutes of a relatively normal interaction with her. Then, within 10 seconds,
the call turned deadly when Grayson pulled his gun, ordered Massey to drop a pot
of hot water and then fatally shot her in the face.
