The calls that Sonya Massey and her mother, Donna, made to Illinois police in the final hours of her life are becoming public knowledge.
According to CNN, on Friday, July 5, Sonya and her mother made separate calls to 911. The date is a few hours before Sangamon deputy Sean Grayson shot and killed Sonya inside her home.
According to the media, Donna Massey reported to the authorities that her daughter was “being sporadic” at around nine in the morning on July 5. She went on to say that she thought Sonya was “having a mental breakdown.”
She did, however, also tell authorities that her daughter posed neither a threat to her nor to her own safety.
As she becomes agitated, she believes that everyone is trying to get her—like a paranoid schizophrenia—Donna said in an audio clip that the outlet purportedly heard. “Please do not send any confrontational, biased police officers. I’m afraid of the authorities.
Donna reportedly said to officials, according to the media, “I don’t want you guys to hurt her.” Please.
The media reported that Sonya also spoke with police that same morning at around 10 a.m. It was reported that she clarified her desire for no medical care. However, at approximately 1 p.m. on that day, Sonya’s address placed another call to 911 dispatchers. This time, the caller claimed someone had damaged her window; dispatchers subsequently identified her as Massey.
According to CNN, Sonya also informed officials that “her neighbor hit her with a brick” in a “call back.” Following a subsequent trip to St. John’s hospital, Sonya allegedly admitted to smashing her own window.
