Madison Shooting Sparks Racial Justice Calls | Baltimore News

A police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, has ignited fierce racial tensions as Corey Ruiz, Black or Latino, was killed during a struggle — marking the third fatal officer-involved shooting in this neighborhood since 2012.

In solidarity, major summer events — including a concert, a new public market’s opening, and the AtwoodFest — were canceled or postponed, as organizers and activists declared “it’s not business as usual.” Protesters are calling for accountability and acknowledgment of loss, while the Ruiz family’s attorney pushes for criminal charges. Even the police chief stepped back, letting protesters interrupt a press conference — a moment that underscored the community’s demand for change.
