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 publicly Monday in a case that has led to murder charges against a deputy.
She then picks up the pot and the other deputy steps back, “away from your hot steaming water,” he says.
“You better f**king not or I swear to God I’ll f**king shoot you in the f**king face,” Grayson says.
He then draws his firearm and points it at her, and she ducks and says, “I’m sorry” while lifting the pot, the video shows.
The release of the video comes about two weeks after the fatal shooting and just days after Grayson was charged in her death.
Immediately after the shooting, the video records Grayson telling his partner Massey would not need medical help.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul issued a statement Monday saying the footage was “horrific” and offering his sympathy to Massey’s family. »
