Corey Ruiz Shooting Sparks Calls for Accountability | Green Bay News

Corey Ruiz, a man killed by police in Madison on July 22, was identified the next day amid a tense press conference and protests. The shooting occurred around 1:35 PM during an arrest attempt for bike theft and car trespassing; Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife, injuring an officer before being shot. The incident reignited community outrage, especially since it happened on Williamson Street — the same spot where a fatal police shooting occurred in 2015. City officials, including the mayor, called for transparency and accountability, while the police oversight office and the Wisconsin Department of Justice launched investigations. Body camera implementation is now being pushed for, and details about the officer’s injury and why a stun gun failed remain under review.
