A hearing has been set regarding the conditions of Sean P. Grayson's release from jail after the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (WICS) — An Illinois Appellate Court has agreed to keep former Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy Sean Grayson in custody for an additional 35 days. RELATED: Restrictions on pre-trial release for Sean Grayson to be determined at Friday hearing

A former Sangamon County Sheriff’s Deputy charged with the murder of Sonya Massey will spend more time in jail. Judges in the Fourth District Appellate Court put a 35-day pause on the release order for Sean Grayson to give Sangamon County time to appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court.

The hearing set a timeline for restrictions to be set for Grayson's pre-trial release. Grayson is facing charges for shooting and killing Sonya Massey in her home in July. On Wednesday the court found the state did not provide enough evidence to keep Grayson in jail until his trial.

Prosecutors will ask the Illinois Supreme Court to review an appellate court ruling that found former Sangamon County sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson should be released from jail pending trial on charges related to the July 6 shooting death of Sonya Massey.

Sean Grayson will be released from custody ahead of further court proceedings against him. Family and friends are mourning Soren Dixon, Jack Nelson and Krysta Tsukahara, all college students who graduated from Piedmont High School in 2023.
