Sean is the son of Police Chief Patrick O’Neal, who is played by Michael Gaston. Sean will be helping Intelligence search for a missing girl, and their investigation leads them to a human trafficking ring. “He’s got access to communities that don’t necessarily trust the CPD because of the history and tension,” Jefferson told TVLine. “Sean himself has a complicated relationship with the police, and that also means he has a completely different perspective on [the case].”
