However, the situation escalated when Deputy Sean Grayson noticed a pot on the stove and warned against a potential fire. Massey approached the stove to remove the pot, and a brief exchange ensued, including a mention of “steaming hot water” and Massey saying, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.”
The encounter ended in tragedy, with Grayson firing his weapon, resulting in Massey’s de@th. He has since been fired, charged with m_rder and official misconduct, and pleaded not guilty.
