Mississippi Releases Video of Police Shooting That Killed One-Year-Old Boy

Mississippi Releases Video of Police Shooting That Killed One-Year-Old BoyPreviousNext

Mississippi authorities released bodycam footage showing the fatal shooting of one-year-old Kohen Wiley by Senatobia police officer Sgt. Hunter Foster during a June shoplifting response. The video shows officers attempting to stop a vehicle that moved toward them, prompting Foster to fire. The Mississippi Attorney General's office cleared Foster, deeming his use of force appropriate, while Kohen's family and civil rights attorney dispute this, arguing the shooting was unjustified. No charges have been filed against the family or driver.
