In a recent development, Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell has announced his retirement following the indictment of one of his deputies in the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey. The incident, which occurred on July 6, involved then-deputy Sean Grayson shooting and killing Massey after responding to a call at her home near Springfield.
Grayson, who has since been fired from the agency, was indicted on charges of first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, and official misconduct. He has pleaded not guilty and remains in custody awaiting trial.
