Former Illinois sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson, convicted in the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey and serving a 20-year sentence for second-degree murder, has died.

Grayson’s defense had argued he was battling advanced colon cancer, but his medical release request was denied just weeks before his death.
