Madison Police Shooting Under Investigation | Virginia Beach News

Madison is reeling from the July police shooting of 38-year-old Black man Corey Ruiz, whose death was captured on video and ignited widespread protests over race and policing. The Wisconsin Department of Justice is investigating, confirming officers attempted to use a Taser—unsuccessful—and that Ruiz allegedly had a knife and injured one officer, though injury details remain undisclosed. Attorney Ben Crump demands charges against the officer who fired the fatal shot, Officer Baitinger-Peterson, while the lack of body cameras means only bystander footage exists. All four officers are on paid administrative leave as the investigation unfolds—with no timeline yet for completion. The Dane County District Attorney will review findings before deciding on any charges. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
