## Summary

Officer Hunter Foster resigned from the Senatobia Police Department after Mississippi authorities cleared him of criminal wrongdoing in the fatal shooting of one-year-old Kohen Wiley. The case has drawn attention because the child was killed during an attempted getaway after his mother and her friend were suspected of shoplifting, and footage of the encounter was released this week.

Police suspected the women of stealing nappies, but neither has been charged in connection with the incident. Authorities said the car moved towards officers as they surrounded it; Foster fired several shots, killing Kohen and critically injuring Latoya Ferrell. Foster’s lawyer said he believed the driver was trying to kill officers and that Foster had no choice but to shoot; Ferrell’s sister said her recovery remained uncertain.
