Summary

The Mississippi police officer who fatally shot 1-year-old Kohen Wiley while firing into a moving vehicle during an alleged shoplifting incident resigned a day after bodycam video of the shooting was released, a city official said. The state attorney general's office had found the use of force justified. The family's lawyer said an allegation of shoplifting "does not warrant the death" of a child.
