Trial of ex-deputy Sean Grayson moved to Peoria due to publicity over fatal shooting of Sonya Massey.

The trial of Sean Grayson, a former Illinois sheriff's deputy accused of fatally shooting unarmed Black woman Sonya Massey in her home, will be moved from Springfield to Peoria due to intense publicity. Grayson faces charges including first-degree murder and official misconduct. The judge agreed to move the trial after Grayson's lawyers argued that the high-profile nature and continuous media coverage made it hard to find an impartial jury in Sangamon County.
