Corey Ruiz Shooting: Justice Demands Answers | Madison News

Corey Ruiz, a 38-year-old man, was fatally shot by a Madison police officer after being tased and taken down in broad daylight — footage reviewed by civil rights attorney Ben Crump shows multiple shots fired at close range, including in the face. The officer who pulled the trigger was injured during the struggle, and another officer was also hurt. Police Chief John Patterson expressed sympathy for Ruiz’s family and acknowledged the city’s deep trauma, while confirming four officers were present. Community outrage has surged, with protests, a canceled orchestra concert in solidarity, and calls for body cameras from State Rep. Shelia Stubbs. The Wisconsin Department of Justice is now investigating, and all involved officers are on administrative leave. The street remains closed as the city prepares to answer tough questions — and prevent future tragedies. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
