Family Seeks Federal Investigation Into 1-Year-Old’s Fatal Shooting in Mississippi
The family of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley is demanding a federal investigation into his shooting death in Senatobia, Mississippi, after the state's Attorney General ruled the officer's actions were justified.
Lafayette, IN, October 22, 2026 —
The family of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley is calling for a federal investigation into his fatal shooting in Senatobia, Mississippi. The demand follows a ruling by the state’s attorney general that the officer’s actions were justified.
The information available does not specify when the shooting occurred or explain the circumstances leading up to it. It also does not identify the officer, describe the state attorney general’s reasoning, or say when the ruling was issued. The family’s specific request for a federal investigation, and whether any federal agency has responded, were not detailed.
The state attorney general’s ruling and the family’s demand are the central developments described in the available account. No additional findings, investigative records, or statements from the officer or state officials were provided. The information also does not say whether any other investigation is ongoing or whether the ruling may be reviewed.
Those missing details leave the scope and status of the case unclear. The account does not describe what evidence was considered in the state’s review, what legal standard was applied, or what steps the family is seeking from federal authorities. It also does not provide a response from the attorney general’s office to the family’s demand.
As described, the family is seeking federal scrutiny after the state concluded the officer’s actions were justified. No further outcome or next step in the case was provided.
