Grayson had fatally shot 36-year-old Sonia Massey in the face in July of 2024,

after she had called 911 to her home to report a suspected prowler.

Massey's family members say they're disappointed by the lesser charge.

Santey Massey, Sonia's cousin, says he is fueled with rage. The justice system did exactly what

it's designed to do today. It's not meant for us, but I tell you what, I will dedicate my life

to dismantling the systems that created this problem.

The nearly all-white jury took parts of two days to reach their verdict.
