Illinois Governor Urges Sheriff to Resign After Deputy's Fatal Shooting of Sonya Massey

Governor Pritzker criticizes Sheriff Campbell's hiring practices and lack of reforms following the shooting of an unarmed Black woman by a deputy with a troubled history.

Former Deputy Sean Grayson, who shot Sonya Massey, faces multiple charges including first-degree murder.
Grayson had a history of disciplinary issues and DUIs, raising questions about his employment in law enforcement.
Sheriff Jack Campbell has resisted calls to resign, stating he intends to continue leading his office.
Pritzker and other officials have met with Massey's family, while Campbell's meeting requests have been declined.
The incident has renewed calls for comprehensive policing reforms and stricter hiring standards.
