Corey Ruiz Funeral and Justice Call | Milwaukee News

Corey Ruiz’s funeral is set for Friday, August 14th at 11 AM at Fountain of Life Church, with Reverend Al Sharpton delivering the eulogy and attorney Ben Crump rallying for justice. The fatal shooting by Madison police occurred during a struggle where Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife, prompting an officer to fire. The Wisconsin DOJ has labeled it a homicide and is investigating; officer Kiel Baitinger-Peterson, with over a decade of experience, is identified as involved. Four officers are on administrative leave. Protests erupted in Madison, leading to encampment clearances and arrests — and while body cameras aren’t currently used by Madison PD, the mayor plans to fund them. Updates will follow as the investigation progresses. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
