Springfield, IL (CAPITOL CITY NOW) – A Springfield man has been indicted on more serious charges after a woman was shot and killed in July.

Sangamon County Court records indicate a grand jury indicted Edward Massey, 34. on counts of Second Degree Murder, Possession of Weapon by a Felon, and Possession of Methamphetamine.  The charges were filed in late-August.

Massey was originally arrested on a count of Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm.

The shooting on Holly Drive July 19, 2025 claimed the life of Rekeea Jackson-Mason, 36, of Chatham.

In Illinois, Second Degree Murder can be filed if there’s an unreasonable belief of self-defense or other mitigating circumstances.

Mason will be back in court September 22nd.
