The tragic episode unfolded June 14 outside a Walmart in Senatobia, Mississippi, where toddler Kohen Wiley was shot dead in a car after his mother Vellesiya Wiley and a friend were allegedly caught shoplifting.

mother → unfold → car
The shooting sparked outrage and led to allegations of police brutality, but the release of the footage came as Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch announced no charges would be filed against the officers who opened fire.

who → spark → fire
Fitch said a review 'found the use of force was justified', with the footage showing the officers were called into action after Wiley and another woman allegedly stole from the Walmart.

Wiley → say → Walmart
The footage, first shared by Darkhorse Press, began with a man running into the Walmart security office to warn the officers an active theft was in progress, as he said: 'Two women are running, two women are running.'
Several officers then leapt into action and sprinted to the parking lot, and caught up with Wiley in her vehicle as she appeared to be trying to get away.
A group of officers surrounded the mother's vehicle and ordered her repeatedly to 'stop the car', but within seconds her friend who was driving accelerated toward the police and slammed her vehicle into them.

A number of gunshots rang out as she accelerated forwards, and officials said the one-year-old was shot dead as bullets rattling into the vehicle.

Kohen Wiley, one, was shot dead in a Walmart parking lot in June after his mother Vellesiya Wiley and her friend were allegedly caught shoplifting and officers opened fire to stop them fleeing
Officials said Wiley's friend was the one driving the vehicle, and Wiley claimed that officers knew a baby was in the car because she raised Kohen in the air during the exchange.
Wiley's attorney Ben Crump said the two women deny the allegations that they were shoplifting, and neither have been charged with a crime in connection with the incident.
Following an investigation into the shooting by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, findings presented to the attorney general resulted in no charges being brought against the officers involved.

charges → shoot → officers
Fitch's office said in a statement this week that the use of force was determined to be 'justified', but did not give details of its reasoning.

use → say → reasoning
Crump previously told the Daily Mail that the officer who shot the toddler, Senatobia Police Sergeant Hunter Foster, had allegedly faced a complaint for making a racially offensive remark just two days before the shooting.
