Philadelphia, PA, October 22, 2026 —
Mississippi authorities have released video showing a police officer fatally shooting 1-year-old Kohen Wiley in Senatobia. The shooting occurred as the officer responded to a shoplifting call and fired into a moving vehicle, according to the available account.
State investigators cleared the officer, concluding that the use of force was appropriate. Wiley’s family disputes that decision. The available information does not identify the officer or the investigative agency, and it does not provide the date of the incident or the video’s release.
The summary of the incident does not describe what the video shows before or after the shots, explain the investigators’ reasoning, or provide details about the shoplifting report or the vehicle’s occupants. It also does not state whether any additional review or action is pending. Those details cannot be established from the information provided.
The release of the video and the state investigators’ decision are the central developments described. The family’s disagreement means the clearance is contested, but no further explanation of the family’s position was included in the available account. No direct statements from the family, investigators or officer were provided.
Further details about the investigation, the circumstances leading to the shooting and any response from the officer or authorities were not included. The available information establishes that the officer was cleared by state investigators and that the family disputes the finding, but does not provide additional evidence or context with which to assess the differing positions.
