Kohen Wiley Case Heads to AG | Jackson News
One-year-old Kohen Wiley’s tragic death in a Walmart parking lot has escalated to state-level review as Mississippi’s attorney general takes over the investigation. Officers shot at a car during a shoplifting incident, killing the infant; the state claims the vehicle approached an officer. Community outrage persists over lack of transparency, with no released footage or clear answers. Compounding tensions, former police chief Harold Vanderford was fired after racist messages surfaced. The AG’s office will now decide if charges should be brought against officers — a moment that could reshape accountability in Senatobia.
