The police brutality that happened in Illinois overshadowed all similar cases so far.
Footage from a police body camera has shown a white officer in the US state of Illinois shooting dead a 36-year-old Black woman in her home after she called 911 to report a suspected intruder, AzVision.az reports.
The 36-minute video, released by Illinois State Police on Monday, shows the moments leading up to, during and after the July 6 shooting of Sonya Massey, who had called the emergency line to report a potential “prowler” at her residence in Springfield.
In the video, two deputies are seen in a tense encounter with Massey after entering her home late at night. It culminates in one of the deputies, 30-year-old Sean Grayson, yelling at Massey to put down a pot of hot water, threatening to shoot her and then three shots being fired, one hitting her fatally in the head.
Grayson was indicted last week for first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and official misconduct. He pleaded not guilty.
