Justice for Kohen Wiley Demands Transparency
from Memphis News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
A one-year-old boy, Kohen Wiley, was fatally shot by police outside a Mississippi Walmart — and his family is demanding answers. His attorneys are pushing for release of bodycam and surveillance footage, insisting the child and his mother were not accused of shoplifting and that no child should die over such an allegation. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation says footage won’t be released while the probe is active, citing an officer’s account that the driver fled and charged toward an officer. But lawyers dispute that, claiming police opened fire before the car moved and that no one was approaching the officer. They’re also spotlighting a troubling history of police conduct in Senatobia and calling for nationwide de-escalation protocols — like those promoted by “Eight Can’t Wait” — to be adopted. As the community mourns, local pastors are rallying for unity and justice, urging accountability and systemic change to prevent future tragedies.
