Sean Grayson, the 32-year-old former Illinois deputy convicted of killing Sonya Massey in 2024, has died from colon cancer that spread to his lungs and liver. His medical release request was denied by the Illinois Prisoner Review Board. Massey’s family says his death doesn’t bring her back, but they offer prayers for his loved ones. The tragedy sparked the Sonya Massey Act and a Justice Department civil rights probe, leading to reforms in Sangamon County policing — a somber echo of what happened.
