BREAKING: Newly surfaced bodycam footage from the June 14, 2026, Senatobia Walmart parking lot incident captures the exact moments leading up to the fatal shooting of 1 year old Kohen Wiley. Police claimed the vehicle drove toward officers, but the family and attorney Ben Crump heavily dispute this… October 19, 2026, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch closed the investigation, ruling the officer’s use of force "justified" and declining criminal charges due to insufficient evidence. #KohenWiley #SenatobiaPolice #MississippiAG

The video was released to the public on Monday, when the office of Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitz announced that the shooting “was justified.”
According to police reports, Wiley lifted the infant to show that there was a child inside the car. The same documents describe how Officer Hunter Foster fired into the vehicle, killing Cohen Wiley and wounding Ferrell.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, which investigated the shooting, claimed that the driver “moved toward the officers, nearly striking one of them.” However, civil rights attorney Ben Crumb, who represents the family, released an independent autopsy report, according to which Wiley was shot from the side of the car and not from the front.
