The man who was killed by police in Madison, Wisconsin, a shocking caught-on-camera shooting — sparking protests — was a violent ex-con with a lengthy record, including for assaulting cops, The Post can reveal.

Corey Durrell Ruiz, 38, was identified by local officials and his family in social media posts.

State Rep. Shelia Stubbs, a Democrat, said Ruiz “should still be alive.” Brandi Grayson, the head of the Madison-based black community advocacy group Urban Triage, decried the shooting as, “Another black man is dead on a Madison street.”

Protesters have flooded the streets of Madison, Wisconsin, where the shooting happened and local black activists have seized on the killing.

But court and prison records show that Ruiz was not black, had only recently been released from prison, and had knifed a cop moments before he was fatally shot.

Ruiz was identified as non-black Hispanic in his prison booking records — despite activists and protestors comparing his death to the 2020 murder of George Floyd. Online court records show at least 25 criminal cases dating back to 2007. In 2021, he was convicted with battery of a law enforcement officer, possession of drug paraphernalia, resisting a law enfrorcement officer and retail theft in 2025. ***

I keep wondering.... is there ever going to come a time... when even the ignorant masses that always vote Democrat will get fed up and tired of supporting and voting for cretins that always defend the criminals that victimize them and their families. Probably not. They’re that far gone and have been for decades. It’s like they’ve already taken “the Mark”. It just isn’t visible to the naked eye.... yet.

My adopted son is from the Pacific. He’s dark enough and has enough black, curly hair that he is often mistaken for a black guy. He’ll reply, “I’m not a bro!”

And oddly enough, he’s never thought anyone was prejudiced against him. A conservative, military vet who looks black and has never thought any whites hated him. What a concept!

They’re investigating this as a homicide!

The terms refer to specific language used in Haiti to describe individuals with mixed heritage and light skin tones.

“Reds” (Wouj)(Redbone)

In Haiti, “red” or wouj (sometimes referred to as redbone in the broader Caribbean) generally refers to individuals of Afro-descent who have a very light, reddish-brown or “warm” skin complexion. It is used to describe specific skin tones and is not exclusively a slur.

High Yellow
“High yellow” is a historical and colloquial term used to describe very light-complexioned people of African descent who possess a pale, almost yellow skin tone. The phrase originated in the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to describe individuals of mixed Black and white ancestry.

In the Haitian context, the term relates directly to the island’s complex history with race and colorism. In Haiti, the historical legacy of the French colonial “mulatto” elite (sometimes historically referred to by French observers as an aristocracy of “high-yellow” skin) resulted in a societal hierarchy where lighter-skinned individuals historically held greater wealth and political power.

Thank you for posting. My Haitian girlfriend was as dark as campfire coffee. Still, the blacks would harass her and derisively call her “red.” Proving once again that there is little room for nuance in the black racist culture.
