DISTRACTIFY – The body cam footage from Sonya Massey being shot by police in her home while responding to her 911 call shows her chilling yet powerful final words.
Massey had called police to report a potential “prowler,” per CNN, which resulted in two Sangamon County sheriff’s deputies arriving at her home.
