Chaotic bodycam footage has revealed the moments that led up to the fatal police shooting of a one-year-old boy in a Mississippi parking lot after his mother allegedly tried to flee officers.
The tragic episode unfolded on June 14 outside a Walmart in Senatobia, Mississippi, where toddler Kohen Wiley was shot dead in a car after his mother Vellesiya Wiley and his aunt were allegedly caught shoplifting.
The shooting sparked outrage and led to allegations of police brutality, but the release of the footage came as Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch announced no charges would be filed against the officers who opened fire.
