Summary
Corey Ruiz's family appeared publicly for the first time Friday at the Wisconsin State Capitol, with attorney Ben Crump demanding a full independent investigation and accountability in the fatal Madison police shooting.
Wednesday's shooting happened at a busy near-east side intersection after police said Ruiz produced a fixed-blade knife and injured an officer during a struggle.
Bystander video appears to show Ruiz on the ground during that struggle before three gunshots are heard as an officer points a gun from a standing position.
Madison police do not wear body cameras, leaving witness video and the department's account central to scrutiny of the killing.
