Bodycam shows police opening fire on a car outside a Mississippi Walmart and killing a one-year-old boy

Kohen Wiley was sitting on his mother Vellesiya's lap when an officer fired into the sedan in Senatobia on June 14, according to family lawyer Ben Crump. The footage shows five officers surrounding the car and shouting 'stop the car' before the driver, a family friend, pulled forward and nearly struck one of them. Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch has ruled the force 'justified', and the officer will face no charges. Kohen was pronounced dead in hospital.

Vellesiya Wiley says she held Kohen up to show officers a child was inside.
