Sonya Massey: Rally on Saturday at Brooklyn Museum for woman killed by police in her home

PROSPECT HEIGHTS, Brooklyn (WABC) — On Saturday, the Brooklyn Museum hosted one of dozens of memorials across the country to remember Sonya Massey, who was killed by police.

People laid flowers and lit candles next to a picture of Massey, a 36-year-old mother from Illinois.

A police officer shot Massey in her home three weeks ago after she called 911 to report a possible burglar.

Police bodycam footage released this week shows Massey urging police not to harm her.
