The family of a man who was shot and killed by Madison police says he was 'exceptional'

Corey Ruiz, a 38-year-old man, was shot and killed by Madison police during a struggle involving a knife, prompting protests and calls for criminal charges from his family and civil rights attorney Ben Crump. The family described Ruiz as loving and emphasized his unjustified death, while police stated he injured an officer before being shot. Four officers involved are on administrative leave as investigations proceed, with no body-camera footage available due to Madison's lack of such requirements.
