Watch live: Sonya Massey family speaks with attorney Ben Crump

The U.S. Department of Justice has opened an investigation into the shooting of Sonya Massey, a Black woman who was fatally shot inside her home by a former Illinois sheriff's deputy earlier this month, civil rights attorney Ben Crump announced. Crump said Tuesday that the case is now part of a Justice Department investigation, but noted that he didn't know the probe's scope or who might be involved. The investigation comes a day after Illinois State Police publicly released body camera footage of the shooting. The 36-minute body camera footage shows the rapid escalation that led former Sangamon County Sheriff's deputy Sean P. Grayson to shoot Massey, 36, inside her home in Springfield, Illinois.
