Shocking final moments of baby captured on police bodycam after his mother and aunt ‘shoplifted’ at Walmart then drove car at cops who opened fire
One-year-old Kohen Wiley was fatally shot by police in a Walmart car park in Senatobia, Mississippi, in June, during an attempt to stop a car from leaving. Newly released bodycam footage shows officers surrounding the vehicle after a shoplifting report, and gunfire as it accelerated towards them. The state attorney general has ruled that the officers’ use of force was justified and that they will face no charges.
Officials said Wiley’s friend was driving and that another woman was seriously injured by gunfire. Wiley and her friend deny shoplifting, and neither has been charged; Wiley’s lawyer says she raised the baby to show officers he was in the car. The article reports that a bullet struck Kohen in the rib cage and that he died at a local hospital. The attorney general’s office announced its decision after reviewing findings from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation but did not explain its reasoning in detail.
