A Mississippi police officer, Sergeant Hunter Foster, fatally shot a one-year-old boy, Kohen Wiley, in June. The Senatobia police officer was responding to a shoplifting call when he fired his gun at a moving vehicle. Kohen was killed in the shooting. The Mississippi Attorney General's office cleared Foster of criminal wrongdoing after conducting a month-long investigation.
However, Kohen's family disputes the shooting's justification. A civil rights lawyer, Ben Crump, has stated that Foster was not in danger when he opened fire. The family's legal team is calling for a federal investigation into the shooting.
