Sean Grayson, a former Sangamon County sheriff's deputy, has died at the age of 32. He was convicted of fatally shooting Sonya Massey in her home. Massey had called 911 to report a possible prowler, and Grayson responded to the call. He was serving a two-decade prison sentence for the killing. Recently, Grayson had been denied an early medical release from prison. His attorney had stated in January that Grayson had been diagnosed with stage three colon cancer, which had advanced to his liver and lungs. No cause of death was officially given, but his attorney confirmed his passing on Sunday. Grayson's case gained attention due to the circumstances of Massey's death and his subsequent conviction and sentencing.
