The U.S. Justice department has ordered that the records of Sonya Massey's killing be turned over by an Illinois sheriff's office.

The Justice Department is opening a civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of an Illinois woman inside her own home by a sheriff's deputy. Sonya Massey, 36, was killed by former Sangamon County deputy Sean Grayson in July amid an exchange over a pot of boiling water.

The government made a list of demands in dozens of categories in a letter Thursday to the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office.

The Justice Department also reviewed the sheriff’s department’s employment practices, such as a lack of diversity on the force. These allegations collectively raise concerns of race and disability discrimination prohibited by Title VI,

The Justice Department wants to know if the sheriff's office has strategies when responding to people in "behavioral health crises," among many other requests.

The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office following Sonya Massey's death.

At the time of the fatal shooting, the Sangamon County Sheriff's Office was led by then-Sheriff Jack Campbell, who retired in August and was replaced by Crouch.
