A one-year-old boy was shot dead by police during a chase through a Walmart parking lot. The incident happened on Sunday, June 14, when police got a call about women shoplifting Pampers at a Senatobia Walmart.
Officers with the Senatobia Police Department arrived at the location and spotted the suspect’s vehicle driving through the parking lot. Police claimed the suspect drove toward them and almost hit one cop when they were trying to stop the vehicle.
Officers fired into the vehicle, killing Kohen Wiley and critically injuring a female passenger in the vehicle. Kohen’s family told WREG that his mother was holding him in the front passenger seat while his aunt drove.

Video footage shows the front passenger window broken out and a bullet hole in the windshield on the passenger side. The aunt drove the family to the hospital, where Kohen was pronounced dead. The family disputed allegations that Kohen’s mother and aunt were stealing diapers from the Walmart.
A witness told WREG that he saw police waiting in the parking lot before Kohen’s mother and aunt exited the store. One woman held a box of diapers while the other woman carried the toddler.
Another witness who saw the fleeing vehicle said she didn’t realize police were shooting in the parking lot, since “this is Walmart.”
“We don’t really know anything, why it happened or whatever. All we know is that car was shot up and a one-year-old baby was killed,” Carolyn Stokes, Kohen’s great-grandmother, told WREG.
“I’m just at a loss for words, to be honest. Somebody needs to held accountable for it,” Carlos Haynes, Kohen’s grandfather, added.
