38岁的科里·鲁伊兹在周三于麦迪逊市闹市街道被警方枪杀 1。警方声称鲁伊兹在与四名警官的搏斗中拔刀伤害了其中一名警官，该警官随后开枪射击 1。
代表鲁伊兹家属的民权律师本·克鲁普对警方的行动提出质疑，称"他们不仅扑倒他，不仅用电击枪击中他，不仅踢他，而且你看到他们在他的头部和身体其他部分开了三枪" 1。克鲁普要求对涉事警官提起刑事指控，指控其过度使用武力 1。
事件发生后，涉事的四名警官已被行政休假，但枪手身份尚未公开 1。此事引发社区抗议，也凸显了麦迪逊警察部门缺乏执法记录仪的问题 1。麦迪逊市长萨蒂亚·罗得斯-康韦表示，预期1月生效的新预算将包含执法记录仪资金 1。

A 38-year-old man was fatally shot by Madison police officers on a downtown street on Wednesday after authorities said he drew a knife during a struggle with four officers. 1 Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, representing the family of Corey Ruiz, has called for criminal charges against the officer, alleging excessive force in the incident. 1
According to police, Ruiz wounded one officer with a blade during the altercation, prompting the officer to open fire. 1 Crump disputed the characterization of events, stating: "They not only tackled him, not only Tasered him, not only kicked him, but you see them shooting him three times in the head and other parts of his body." 1
Four officers have been placed on administrative leave, though the identity of the officer who fired the fatal shots has not been released. 1 The incident has sparked community protests and renewed scrutiny of the Madison Police Department's lack of body camera requirements for officers. 1
Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway indicated that a new budget expected to take effect in January will include funding for body-worn cameras. 1 The shooting marks the third fatal police encounter in the same community area since 2012. 1
