Madison encampment end call tests city balance between mourning and safety
Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway urged an end to the Williamson and South Baldwin encampment formed after the July 22 shooting of Corey Ruiz, but the site remains barricaded with tents, vehicles, and makeshift amenities as residents, businesses, and protesters voice safety concerns; city officials seek a respectful transition and memorial preservation while a state DOJ investigation into the shooting continues.
