Massey was shot and killed by Sangamon County, Illinois sheriff's deputy outside Springfield earlier this month. The now-former deputy, Sean Grayson, has since been fired and charged with Massey's murder.
Through their grief, Masseys addressed a large crowd at the New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, 4301 W. Washington Blvd. They called for police reform.
