Biloxi Gulfport, MS, October 23, 2026 —
Mississippi authorities have released video footage of a fatal police shooting in Senatobia that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley. An officer fired into a moving vehicle while police were responding to a shoplifting call, according to the information provided about the incident.
A state investigation found no criminal wrongdoing by the officer. The child’s family disputes that conclusion, asserting that the video evidence shows the shooting was not justified. The competing positions leave the investigation’s finding and the family’s response at the center of the public dispute surrounding the shooting.
The information provided does not identify the officer or specify which state agency conducted the investigation. It also does not give the date of the shooting or video release, describe the footage in detail, or provide the investigators’ reasoning. No additional findings, charges or subsequent actions were provided.
The released footage is central to the family’s challenge to the state investigation’s conclusion, but the available account does not detail what the video shows beyond the report that the officer fired into a moving vehicle. It also does not include statements from the officer or police department.
Authorities’ release of the video and the state investigation’s finding are documented in the trend summary, while the assertion that the shooting was unjustified is attributed to the family. Further details about the investigation and the family’s position were not provided.
