The Mississippi Attorney General’s office released a formal statement on Monday confirming that a state-led investigation into a fatal police shooting has been closed. The incident occurred in June at a Walmart in Senatobia, Mississippi, when law enforcement officers were responding to a report of shoplifting. During the encounter, an officer discharged their weapon at a moving vehicle. The gunfire resulted in the death of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley, who was inside the vehicle.

State investigators reviewed the circumstances surrounding the shooting and determined that the officer’s actions were legally justified under Mississippi law. The Attorney General’s office did not provide further details regarding the specific tactical decisions made by the officer during the confrontation. Because the investigation has concluded with a finding of justification, no criminal charges will be filed against the officer involved. The decision marks the end of the state’s inquiry into the use of force in this case, though the incident remains a point of significant public concern regarding police protocols involving moving vehicles and the presence of bystanders or passengers.
