Ben Crump represents family of 1-year-old killed in MS officer-involved shooting

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — National Civil Rights Attorney Ben Crump and Attorney Van Turner will be representing the family of a one-year-old who was shot and killed during an officer-involved shooting in Senatobia, Mississippi.

Crump said the following in a statement on Tuesday:

“A 1-year-old child is dead because police officers in Mississippi opened fire on a car in a crowded Walmart parking lot. Kohen Wiley was a baby. His mother, who has not been charged with any crime, says she was trying to communicate to officers that there was a baby in the car. They fired anyway, leading to the death of an innocent 1-year-old. We intend to seek justice for baby Kohen and the life that was stolen from him.”
