A little boy in a car with his mum and aunt was k!lled by a police officer who opened fire on their vehicle. Kohen Kartier Wiley, 1, was shot and k!lled by a Mississippi police officer who was responding to an alleged shoplifting incident at Walmart. Officers from the Senatobia Police Department said the boys mum and aunt had been driving “in the direction of officers” before they opened fire. A statement from the police department appears to show that officers knew that a child was in the car when they responded to the scene. “Upon arrival, officers encountered two subjects and a child fleeing from the store into a vehicle. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver drove in the direction of the officers, almost striking one,” the department said. “An officer then discharged their weapon, and the vehicle fled the scene. The subjects arrived at a local hospital, where one juvenile child in the vehicle was pronounced deceased, and another subject had critical injuries. No law enforcement officers received any serious physical injury.” One witness said he saw the police waiting in the parking lot as the two women left Walmart, one holding a box of diapers and the other holding baby Kohen. Another witness said: “I saw the officers take off running, not in the car, Im talking about on foot, and these are the Sheriffs and the police. “Theyre running through the parking lot, and I see the car take off, you know, so in my head, Im like, I know theyre not chasing the car, they dont think theyre going to catch the car. “Then I hear gunshots, and Im like, I know theyre not shooting at a car thats leaving in a public place, this is Walmart.” Carolyn Stokes, baby Kohens great-grandmother, told WREG: “Senatobia Police Department get away with too much stuff. “I hear about it all the time, its in the news all the time, yall probably down here all the time, recording this stuff, but its just too much.” The post Baby boy shot and k!lled by police responding to ‘shoplifting’ incident appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
