We’re a team of investigative reporters with Mississippi Today and The New York Times. We’re trying to learn more about the police shooting last month in which a 1-year-old, Kohen Wiley, was killed. The incident took place in the parking lot of the Walmart Supercenter on Highway 51 in Senatobia, Mississippi. 

State and local authorities, including the local police department and the Department of Public Safety investigating the shooting, have offered few details about what happened. None of the agencies have released body-worn or dashboard camera video, and Walmart has not released surveillance footage. All we know is that police were responding to a complaint of shoplifting, and the resulting confrontation involving the toddler’s mother and her friend ended after police shot into their car. 

The only video from the incident that’s been published captures the car driving away after having been shot at. No other witnesses have publicly come forward. 

If you know anything about what happened that day – if you were around, if you have any photo or video evidence, if you witnessed the incident, or if you know someone who did – we want to hear from you.
