Corey Ruiz Shooting Under Review | Madison News

Corey Ruiz was fatally shot by Madison police during a daylight confrontation that has sparked outrage and demands for transparency. Attorney Ben Crump, known for his civil rights work and past high-profile cases including George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, is now representing Ruiz’s family. Crump insists the incident involved excessive force, citing video evidence showing Ruiz was tased, taken down, and then shot multiple times at close range—even in the face—despite witnesses and daylight conditions. Police claim Ruiz fled on a bike, later produced a knife, and attacked an officer before the taser failed and a firearm was discharged. Crump and Ruiz’s family are calling for all video footage—including dashcam and bystander recordings—to be released to fully understand what happened. This case underscores Crump’s ongoing commitment to justice in police-involved shootings. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
