AP Photo/Melissa WinderThe sheriff of Sangamon County retired abruptly Friday, only weeks after one of his deputies fatally shot Sonya Massey, a 36-year-old Black woman who was unarmed. J.B. Pritzker (D) called for Campbell’s resignation earlier this week after Massey’s family had done so following the shooting.
