‘Justice for Baby Kohen’: Family, Ben Crump Call Kohen Wiley Shooting Unjustified After Viewing Bodycam Video
The family says body camera footage shows the shooting was unjustified, while state investigators and the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office called it justified.
- On Thursday, the family of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley rejected the state's justification for his death after reviewing police body-camera footage from the June shooting incident.
- Sgt. Hunter Foster fired into a moving vehicle at a Senatobia Walmart during a pursuit of two women accused of shoplifting, located about 40 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee.
- Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office cleared Foster of criminal wrongdoing, though civil rights attorney Ben Crump disputes this, citing evidence the fatal shot came from the vehicle's side.
- Veronica Roberson, Kohen's maternal grandmother, called the lack of notice and leaked footage a "slap in the face," while the family demanded a federal government investigation into the shooting.
- Civil rights attorney Ben Crump argued officers displayed "excessive and reckless" force during a misdemeanor investigation, while community leaders characterized the toddler's death as social injustice.
