Summary
Since the police killing of Corey Ruiz on Wednesday, July 22, the corner of South Baldwin and Williamson street remains closed indefinitely. Community members have turned the intersection into a memorial, and organizers are demanding the arrest of the officer who shot Ruiz. Meanwhile, a number of local events have been cancelled in solidarity and city officials have announced new proposals on body-warn cameras.
