The parents of a 1-year-old boy who was shot and killed by a police officer in Mississippi have demanded a meeting with the state official who ruled that the shooting was justified. Kohen Wiley’s parents and a small group of activists led a protest Monday at the office of Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch. Kohen was killed in June when a police officer in the small town of Senatobia fired his gun into a moving vehicle while responding to a shoplifting call. Kohen was with his mom and a friend, both of whom are Black. The protesters were met in the lobby by Fitch’s chief of staff, who said Fitch was not in the office.
