Say his name!
Corey!
Say his name!
Corey!
Who's streets?
Our streets!
Who's streets?
Our streets!
Behind me are hundreds of people
calling for justice for
Corey Ruiz
a 38-year-old man
who was shot and killed
by a Madison police officer
right here between
Baldwin and Williamson Street.
Police say he had a knife
and was resisting arrest
after reports of
someone stealing bikes and
checking on car doors.
I'm Erica Ayisi
a reporter with PBS Wisconsin.
In video circulating online
he was shot during a struggle
with four police officers
but one officer shot him
in the head.
Family, friends and
community members are
calling this a murder
and asking for the
police officer who killed him
to be arrested.
Something is intensely wrong
and there needs to be
a sharp correction to it.
And if it doesn't happen
we're not going to leave
the streets.
We'll be here every night
until we get justice
for the family.
They're also demanding
an unbiased
and transparent investigation.
I want people to ask
the DCI to release
as much information
soon as possible
to let the public know
what it knows.
