Sonya Massey was killed by an Illinois sheriff's deputy after being shot three times inside her home. Newly released body-cam footage shows Massey ducking and apologising for telling the officers 'I'll rebuke you in the name of Jesus' seconds before one officer shot her in the face. Sangamon county sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson has pleaded not guilty to the charges of first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and official misconduct. An earlier version said Sonya Massey was killed by "Illinois state police". It was the ISP that released the footage and which conducted an investigation into the shooting.
