Protesters Demand Justice for Kohen Wiley
from Jackson News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Nearly 70 people took to the streets in Senatobia, Mississippi, to protest the fatal police shooting of one-year-old Kohen Wiley—just days after his death and hours before his visitation. Marchers, including families and community members from across the region, demanded justice and the arrest of the officer involved, turning a somber moment into a powerful call for accountability. With minimal police presence and blocked access to the station, protesters rerouted through town to the Walmart where the tragedy unfolded, setting up a memorial and holding a press conference. Organizers, including Marquell Bridges of the Building Bridges Coalition, have been in close contact with Wiley’s family since a previous protest saw tear gas deployed during the child’s visitation. As funeral services loomed, the community stood united, seeking answers and systemic change in the wake of this devastating loss.
