Sean Grayson, a former Illinois sheriff’s deputy convicted of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Sonya Massey, has died while serving a 20-year prison sentence. Grayson, 32, was found guilty last October after fatally shooting Massey; reports indicate he died six months into his sentence.
The shooting stemmed from a dispute over a pot of hot water, according to The New York Post. Grayson was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison. He had been a deputy at the time of the incident.
Attorneys for Grayson confirmed his death on Sunday. While Grayson had been diagnosed with Stage 3 colon cancer in 2023, it remains unconfirmed whether the cancer caused his death.
