Madison fatal police shooting triggers open homicide investigation
A fatal Madison police shooting on the near-east side is being treated as an open, active homicide investigation after a suspect in his 30s, Corey Ruiz, was shot by an officer during a detainment attempt; police say Ruiz was armed with a knife and injured an officer. The Wisconsin DOJ’s Division of Criminal Investigation is reviewing witnesses and will present findings to the Dane County DA, with the officer’s identity expected soon. The police chief says the department will reexamine policies and training, and the mayor calls for transparency as protesters interrupted a press briefing.
