Police Shooting Claims Life of One-Year-Old Kohen Wiley in Mississippi

Police in America Hunter Foster shoots and kills one year old Baby Kohen Wiley

By FEROmedia News Desk

A Mississippi community is demanding answers after one-year-old Kohen Wiley was fatally shot by police during an incident outside a Walmart in Senatobia on June 14, 2026.

What began as a response to an alleged shoplifting report ended in the death of a baby boy whose life had barely begun, leaving a family devastated and a community searching for the truth.

According to police, officers responded to reports of a suspected shoplifting incident involving diapers. Authorities claim that during an encounter in the Walmart parking lot, a vehicle carrying Kohen, his mother, and another adult moved toward officers, prompting Officer Hunter Foster to open fire.

Kohen was struck and later died from his injuries. Another occupant of the vehicle was seriously injured.

However, the police version of events is now being challenged by multiple eyewitnesses who say the vehicle was not being driven toward officers as authorities have claimed.

Their accounts have raised serious concerns about whether the use of deadly force was justified and whether the public has been given an accurate description of what occurred.

As pressure mounts, family members, community activists, and civil rights attorney Ben Crump are demanding the immediate release of body-camera footage, dashboard-camera recordings, and surveillance video from the Walmart parking lot.

A Baby Lost

Beyond the headlines and official statements is the heartbreaking reality that a one-year-old child is dead.

Kohen Wiley was a son, a grandson, and a child with an entire future ahead of him.

His family now faces a loss that no parent should ever have to endure.

Across Mississippi and beyond, many people are expressing outrage that an incident involving an alleged property crime resulted in the death of a baby.

Eyewitnesses Challenge Police Narrative

One of the central questions in this case is whether the vehicle posed an immediate threat to officers.

Police have stated that the vehicle moved toward them.

Eyewitnesses have reportedly disputed that claim.

If those eyewitness accounts are accurate, it could significantly change public understanding of what happened and raise difficult questions about the decisions made that day.

Many community members believe that until all available footage is released, the public cannot fully assess the truth of the incident.

The Demand for Accountability

The shooting has reignited concerns about police accountability and the use of force in America.

Community leaders are asking:

• Why was deadly force used?
• Were there alternatives available?
• Do witness accounts conflict with official reports?
• When will all video evidence be released?
• Will those responsible be held accountable if wrongdoing is found?

These are questions that deserve clear and transparent answers.

THE DEVIL HUNTER FOSTER 

Justice Requires the Truth

The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is conducting an investigation into the shooting.

For Kohen's family, however, the investigation is about more than procedures and reports.

It is about discovering exactly what happened in the final moments of a child's life.

If the official account is accurate, the evidence should support it.

If eyewitnesses are correct, the public deserves to know that as well.

Transparency is not optional in cases like this.

It is essential.

Kohen's family deserves the truth.
