Ruiz Family Demands Accountability After Madison Police Shooting

Civil rights attorney Ben Crump stood with Corey Ruiz’s family at a Madison press conference, where his mother Elsa and daughter Kah’liyah described him as kind and express grief, while urging body cameras and justice after a Madison police officer shot Ruiz during a reported knife-related struggle. Police say Ruiz produced a fixed-blade knife; bystander video appears to show him going to the ground as three gunshots were fired from an officer’s stance. The family questions de-escalation and calls for accountability.
