Corey Ruiz was shot and killed by Madison police in the Marquette neighborhood after a struggle at South Baldwin and Williamson streets. Officers responded to reports of bike thefts and car door checks. Ruiz fled on a bicycle through backyards before being stopped. During the struggle he pulled a fixed blade knife and injured an officer. A Taser was used but failed. The officer then fired three rounds. Ruiz was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Public records show Ruiz had roughly 40 misdemeanor and felony convictions between 2009 and 2025 including robbery, strangulation, drug possession, vehicle theft, battery on a public safety worker, and resisting law enforcement. Community members described him as a father dealing with homelessness and mental health struggles. Bystander video of the shooting went viral and shows the rapid sequence that ended with the fatal shots.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice is leading the investigation. All involved officers were placed on administrative leave. None of the four officers on scene were wearing body cameras. A heated news conference saw protesters interrupt the police chief. Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway called for a rigorous investigation. Protests and a vigil followed near the scene, which sits close to the 2015 Tony Robinson and 2012 Paul Heenan police shootings in Madison.
This is developing coverage of a high profile officer involved shooting in Madison Wisconsin that has triggered strong public reaction, questions about use of force, and renewed debate over accountability.
