Mississippi Police Shoot and Kill 1-Year-Old During Shoplifting Call
A 1-year-old child, Kohen Kartier Wiley, was fatally shot by a police officer in Senatobia, Mississippi, on June 14, 2026, while an adult was critically wounded. The shooting occurred after officers responded to a shoplifting call at a Walmart and encountered subjects fleeing in a vehicle. While authorities allege the vehicle drove towards officers, family members deny shoplifting and claim the child was in his mother’s arms when the shooting happened. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is now handling the case, and community members are planning a protest to demand accountability.
