The release of footage showing the fatal police shooting of a 1-year-old boy following a shoplifting call has reignited deep-seated racial tensions in Senatobia, Mississippi.
The video, captured during an officer's encounter with a vehicle in a store parking lot, shows the tragic moments that led to the death of toddler Kohen Wiley.
Coming on the heels of the state Attorney General’s determination that the officer’s use of force was justified, the release has drawn intense scrutiny from civil rights advocates.
Local activists and residents are now demanding systemic police reform and federal accountability in a town already reeling from past law enforcement scandals.
