MBI Records Identify Hunter Foster in Shooting That Killed 1-Year-Old Kohen Wiley

3 articles · Updated · Action News 5 · Jun 19

Summary

  • Five years of Mississippi Bureau of Investigation shooting records obtained by Action News 5 list Senatobia officer Hunter Foster among those involved in Sunday’s shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley.
  • City records show Foster was promoted to sergeant in September, but an MBI incident report was too heavily redacted to confirm his role and city officials declined to comment, referring questions back to MBI.
  • Tuesday’s protest outside the Senatobia Walmart demanding answers escalated when officers used tear gas to disperse the crowd.
  • Community members are also organizing support for the Wiley family, with a prayer vigil set for Thursday at 6 p.m. at LifePoint Church and a fundraiser planned by Delta Steakhouse.
