A 38-year-old Black or Latino man, Corey Durell Ruiz, was fatally shot by Madison police during a high-stakes encounter that unfolded amid reports of a bike-riding suspect fleeing a car break-in. Bystander videos have gone viral, sparking outrage and protests as community leaders demand justice and an end to systemic racism. Ruiz, with a history of drug and resisting-officer charges, was killed in a neighborhood that has seen similar shootings before. The officer who fired—11 years on the force—is on administrative leave, along with three others, as the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation launches its probe. No body cameras were worn by officers, leaving critical moments unseen. Ruiz’s family has hired Ben Crump, known for representing victims of police violence. The city vows to soon fund body cameras, but the incident has already become a flashpoint in Wisconsin’s gubernatorial race.
