Bodycam footage from another deputy showed Massey saying she rebuked Grayson, and Grayson responded by threatening the 36-year-old.
Massey’s autopsy report, which was publicly released Friday, said she was killed by a gunshot wound to her head.
He has pleaded not guilty and was denied pretrial release, according to court records.
As more details emerge about Grayson’s DUIs and previously documented incidents from the military and law enforcement, Massey’s family members are tormented.
They have one nagging question, their attorney Crump said: “Why was he even on the sheriff’s department in the first place?”.
“Sonya Massey lost her life due to an unjustifiable and reckless decision by former Deputy Sean Grayson,” Campbell said in a statement Monday.
Bodycam footage from the night of his mother’s death initially showed a calm encounter between Massey, Grayson and another deputy. »
