A jury has found former Illinois Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Grayson guilty of second-degree murder in the 2024 killing of Sonya Massey, a Black mother of two who called 911 about a possible prowler outside her home.

Body camera footage showed Massey talking to deputies and removing a pot of hot water from her stove before the shooting, saying “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” Grayson testified he took her remarks as a threat, leading him to draw his firearm.

Grayson faces four to 20 years in prison for second-degree murder. Under state law, he would likely be eligible to get day-for-day credit for good behavior in prison, meaning he could end up serving only half his sentence.

Massey’s death led to calls for justice, protests across the country and reignited scrutiny about law enforcement shootings of Black people in their homes.

Posted • Hamas condemned the Israeli Occupation for committing a “horrific massacre” after dozens of Palestinians were killed and more than 150 injured early Saturday morning while attempting to collect food aid west of Rafah.

According to the group, the victims were responding to a distribution announcement made by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) when they were fired upon in what Hamas called a deliberate and premeditated attack.

In a press statement issued Saturday afternoon, Hamas described the “Israeli”-controlled aid distribution system in southern Gaza as a “trap,” claiming it is designed to lure hungry civilians before targeting them with live fire.

“This massacre confirms the fascist nature of the occupation,” the group said, adding that the aid centers are being used as “bait” under the guise of humanitarian assistance.
