MISSISSIPPI, United States — Protests were carried out by Mississippi residents on Tuesday following the shooting death of one-year-old Kohen Wiley in a Walmart parking lot on June 14.

United States (US) media reports indicate that the baby died after a Senatobia cop, responding to a shoplifting call, fired into a moving car, killing him and injuring his aunt, who was driving the vehicle.

Reports are that officers had been responding to a call alleging that someone had tried to steal a box of diapers.
