SENATOBIA – Demonstrators marched through the north Mississippi town of Senatobia on Friday in support of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley’s family and calling for accountability from law enforcement involved in his death. Despite temperatures reaching a heat index of 95 degrees, according to the National Weather Service, demonstrators walked through the town with fists raised, chanting calls for justice and accountability. The Mississippi Department of Public Safety says a police officer responding to a shoplifting call on June 14 shot at a car that drove in the officer’s direction, killing Kohen.
