Springfield, Illinois – Sean Grayson, the former Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy charged in connection with the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey, was transferred today from the Macon County Jail to the Sangamon County Jail.

According to a statement from Sheriff Paula Crouch, the transfer was made to accommodate ongoing medical procedures and follow-up appointments that require Grayson to be housed in Springfield. The decision was reached after consultation between correctional and medical staff to ensure Grayson could access necessary services while remaining in secure custody.

Grayson will be held in a secure unit at the Sangamon County Jail, with appropriate safety precautions in place. He is expected to remain there until his trial takes place in Peoria County.
