Mississippi Family Demands Transparency in Police Shooting | Jackson News

A one-year-old boy’s death at a Walmart parking lot has sparked outrage and demands for justice as the Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus calls for urgent transparency in the investigation. Kohen Wiley was fatally shot by a police officer during a shoplifting call, while his mother held him — and two months later, the family still hasn’t received any updates from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. Mistakenly named officer Sergeant Hunter Foster, who had a history of racial insensitivity and exaggerated threat claims, is now under scrutiny — though his attorney insists he’ll be cleared. The family’s lawyers are pushing for body camera footage and an independent autopsy, while lawmakers plan to overhaul state laws on releasing such evidence. With frustration mounting, the family feels ignored — and the push for accountability is gaining momentum. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
