Late last week, more information surfaced regarding the killing of one year old Kohen Wiley in the parking lot of a Walmart in Mississippi by Senatobia police.
As The Free Thought Project has previously reported, on June 14th of this year, in the parking lot of a Walmart in Tate County, Mississippi, about 40 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee at approximately 2:00 PM officers of the Senatobia Police Department and Tate County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call of a potential shoplifter. Reports allege the officers witnessed two women, identified as Vellesiya Wiley, and Latoya Ferrell, carrying a package of diapers and one year old Kohen Wiley to their vehicle, and the officers gave pursuit.
In the insuing chaos shots rang out. In the aftermath, Ferrell was critically injured, shot in the arm and the thigh. One year old Kohen lay dead in his mother’s arms.
Following the shooting, a statement from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation alleged that as the vehicle fled the scene it swerved towards officers, prompting them to discharge their weapon. A claim which until recently had remained unverified. Now video evidence of the altercation in the form of body camera footage has been leaked to the public to show the truth.
