Baby Shot in Car During Police Encounter

A one-year-old boy, Kohen Wiley, died after being shot inside a car during a tense police encounter in Senatobia, Mississippi. His mother says they were leaving Walmart when officers approached a friend allegedly accused of shoplifting; they got into the friend’s car, which began backing up — and officers ran toward them with guns drawn. She claims she showed officers the baby was inside, then heard multiple shots — one hitting her son in the rib cage. Police say the driver approached them, prompting an officer to fire. The officer is on administrative leave, and body cam footage remains sealed. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump is now representing the family as the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation investigates. Walmart has expressed sorrow and is cooperating. The community demands answers — and questions whether such force was justified for a shoplifting incident.
