Attorney Ben Crump, Kohen Wiley’s family addressed media after viewing shooting footage

(Gray News) - Attorney Ben Crump joined the family of Kohen Wiley at a news conference Thursday to address members of the media after viewing footage from the shooting that led to the 1-year-old’s death.

In June, a Senatobia police officer shot into a moving car and killed Kohen.

Action News 5 received the footage from Darkhorse Press two days after Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office determined the officers’ actions that day were justified.

The footage includes five videos: three body-camera videos from Senatobia officers and two surveillance videos from Walmart.

Authorities said two women were accused of shoplifting from a Walmart. They ran away from the store with the toddler and got into a car.

Police and Tate County deputies can be heard yelling “stop” before the car drove toward Officer Hunter Foster. Foster was standing in front of the vehicle and opened fire on the passenger side.

Foster later told another officer he could not see that a baby was inside the car.

It is unclear whether the toddler’s family plans to take any legal action.
