A source close to the case said he has been moved out of state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor safety and security purposes, the Department will not discuss details concerning Individual Grayson,\u201d an IDOC spokesman said in an email Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could be for a number of reasons, including the high-profile nature of the crime, the fact that Grayson was a police officer, or that he is suffering from advanced forms of cancer and needs specialized care, one expert said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThese types of individuals provide a special risk because there are plenty of people who will want to put out a hit on them or injure them simply because it will give them notoriety and status within the prison population,\u201d said Lenard Vare, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurispro.com\/expert\/lenard-vare-5715\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a former prison administrator and warden<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the California and Nevada correctional systems who now works as a private consultant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grayson\u2019s killing of an unarmed Sonya Massey in her kitchen drew nationwide attention, following the cases of George Floyd in Minneapolis and Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky, in 2020, making Grayson\u2019s prosecution and eventual conviction <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/where-is-sean-grayson-now-11896103\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">national news<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grayson was sentenced Jan. 29, three months after a jury convicted him of second-degree murder, and IDOC took him into custody that afternoon, according to Sangamon County Sheriff Paula Crouch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grayson\u2019s name does not show up in the Illinois Department of Corrections <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/idoc.illinois.gov\/offender\/inmatesearch.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online search<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for inmates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Secrecy is not unusual<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once in their custody, IDOC would consider Grayson a high-profile inmate with unique security risks, Vare said. Corrections officials typically move high-profile inmates, like Grayson, to federal or even out-of-state facilities where media coverage has been less intense, he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legal agreements between states, known as interstate compact agreements, allow for these moves for security and other considerations, Vare said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disclosing Grayson\u2019s whereabouts could make it more difficult for IDOC to retain that placement or to place him in the future. Under the interstate compact, a state may choose whether to accept an inmate from another state based on security or other placement concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grayson\u2019s status as a former law enforcement officer would also make him a security risk in the general prison population, Vare said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grayson shares notoriety and former law enforcement status with former Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke, who was also convicted of second-degree murder in the shooting of Laquan McDonald in 2016. Van Dyke was sentenced to 81 months in prison. IDOC released Van Dyke in 2022, after he served less than half of his sentence in a prison outside of Illinois.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What happened that night?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grayson and his partner responded to Sonya Massey\u2019s home the night of July 6, 2024, after she called 911 to report a prowler. Family members have said that Massey, a Black woman, was suffering from a mental health crisis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the call, Grayson, and his partner cleared the outside of the house, finding no prowler, but entered Massey\u2019s home to question her further. During that exchange and under Grayson\u2019s direction, Massey went to the stove to remove a pot of boiling water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Massey did so she said, \u201cI rebuke you in the name of Jesus.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grayson responded, \u201cI\u2019ll f\u2014ing shoot you right in the f\u2014ing face\u201d and drew his gun. Seconds later, Grayson fired three times, fatally wounding Massey with one shot in the head.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sangamon County State\u2019s Attorney John Milhiser charged Grayson with first-degree murder in the days after the shooting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following Massey\u2019s death, questions emerged related to Grayson\u2019s hiring. Media reported he received a general discharge from the Army, was twice convicted of driving under the influence and received verbal discipline related to an unauthorized high-speed chase and insubordination when he worked at the Logan County Sheriff\u2019s Office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then-Sheriff Jack Campbell retired amid controversy over Grayson\u2019s hiring, but recently <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.illinoistimes.com\/news\/jack-campbell-speaks-out\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">defended <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the decision, stating the hiring was based on the information he had available to him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Judge Ryan Cadagin moved Grayson\u2019s trial to Peoria County due to pre-trial publicity after Grayson\u2019s attorneys asserted that he would not get a fair trial in Sangamon County. In October, a Peoria County jury found the former deputy guilty of second-degree murder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>He is battling cancer<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the safety concerns because of his notoriety, Grayson requires medical treatment for the colon cancer he has been battling for years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At his sentencing last month, Grayson\u2019s attorney Mark Wykoff said the cancer had progressed and spread to his liver and lungs. Doctors have also diagnosed Grayson with rectal cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While he was in the Macon County Jail in Decatur awaiting trial, records showed that deputies drove Grayson to a Springfield hospital where he received weekly treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Any state considering accepting Grayson into their correctional system would have reviewed his medical records to determine whether they could medically accommodate him, Vare said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also private facilities that accept inmates with challenging medical conditions that may accept Grayson in exchange for state payment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s kind of a rent-a-bed situation,\u201d Vale said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Life expectancy with Stage 4 colon cancer varies, but the five-year survival rate when the cancer has spread to liver and lungs is around 13%, according to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/cancer\/types\/colon-rectal-cancer\/detection-diagnosis-staging\/survival-rates.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Cancer Association.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With time already served in county jail and if he receives day-for-day credit for good behavior, Grayson would be eligible for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/capitolnewsillinois.com\/news\/sean-grayson-receives-maximum-sentence-for-murder-of-sonya-massey\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">release in 8 \u00bd years<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/capitolnewsillinois.com\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capitol News Illinois<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service that distributes state government coverage to hundreds of news outlets statewide.
