MADISON, Wis. -- The mother of a man shot and killed by Madison police
said Corey Ruiz was an exceptional man who loved his daughter and the
rest of his family.

"He was my love. He loved his daughter, he loved his family. He did not
deserve to be taken out like that. They took my baby from me," his
mother Elsa Ruiz said, breaking down in tears. She said she never
imagined she would be burying her son.

The emotional news conference Thursday marked the first time the family
has made a public statement since Ruiz, 38, was killed on a busy city
street on Wednesday. Police say Ruiz pulled a knife during a struggle
with four officers, injuring one of them. That officer then fired the
shots, according to police.

All four officers have been placed on administrative leave pending a
state investigation. A separate investigation by the city's independent
police monitor is also underway.

The family promised to seek justice for Ruiz' death. They were
accompanied by civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who called the shooting
an unjustified "execution."

"Anytime there is excessive use of force, there should be
accountability," Crump said. He said it was "shocking on every level."

The shooting was captured on cellphone video that was widely shared
online, though Madison Police Chief John Patterson cautioned Thursday
that the video did not show the altercation from the police officers' perspective.

But unlike nearly every other similarly sized city, Madison doesn't
require its police to use body-worn cameras, so there is no footage from
the officers' perspective.

"Thank God there was video," Crump said. "If there wasn't video, imagine
what the narrative would have been."
