Protests have surged after Kohen Wiley, a one-year-old in Senatobia, was shot by police during a June 14 Walmart incident. A second autopsy shows the child was shot from the side of the car; family and civil rights advocates call for the release of body‑cam, dashcam and Walmart security video as investigations continue.
An independent autopsy on 18-year-old Nolan Wells has found no fractures or deep tissue injuries but cannot rule out foul play due to body decomposition and missing neck structures. The findings, announced at the NAACP convention, leave many questions unanswered as authorities continue investigating.
