Mississippi officials recently released a redacted 65-page report of the internal investigation into the police shooting that killed one-year-old Kohen Wiley, revealing more details about the incident.
As The Emancipator previously reported, Baby Kohen was killed on June 14 when, according to a statement from the Senatobia Police Department, officers responded to reports of a shoplifting incident at a Walmart.
At the time, local outlets previously reported that the suspects were two adults and one child who attempted to run the officers over with their vehicle during a confrontation. One of the adults was Kohen’s mother, Vellesiya Wiley, law enforcement claims.
Action News 5 says that officers fired shots at the truck to stop them from striking the officers. One bullet hit Kohen, and the other hit Vellesiya’s friend, the driver of the vehicle. Kohen was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead there.
