- No bodycam footage in fatal Madison police shooting, because the department doesn’t require cameras
A fatal police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, occurred without bodycam footage because the department does not require officers to wear them. The incident, involving a homeless man named Corey Ruiz, has sparked debate over body cameras, with a new funding proposal for their adoption expected to be approved. Experts and officials have expressed surprise at Madison’s lack of a body-camera program despite its size.
