The bodycam showing when a former Illinois sheriff's deputy shot a black woman in the face who called for help is public.
36-year-old Sonya Massey was shot and killed early July 6 after deputies with the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office responded to a call of a prowler.
Charging documents indicate that Sean Grayson drew his gun and threatened to shoot Massey in the face. Grayson "aggressively yelled" for Massey to put down a pot of boiling water.
As Grayson drew close to her, he fired three times, striking her once in the face.
Grayson did not activate his body-worn camera until then, though another sheriff's deputy, who has not been named, had his activated after arriving at Massey's house.
The entire video released by the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office is over 34-minutes.
