Mississippi Police Shooting of Infant Sparks Protests and Autopsy Dispute

Mississippi Free Press reported that Senatobia police officers opened fire on a vehicle that fled a shoplifting call at a Walmart, killing a one-year-old child and critically wounding an adult. NBC News said the shooting prompted a state investigation and calls for transparency. CBS News noted that the incident sparked protests in the predominantly Black community, and The Guardian reported renewed debate over police practices.

NBC News added that a funeral service was held for the child while family members and civil-rights lawyer Ben Crump demanded the release of body-camera, dash-cam and store-surveillance footage. AP News said a preliminary autopsy suggested the child was shot from the side of the vehicle, contradicting police claims that the car was moving toward officers.
