Community activists in Senatobia, Mississippi have identified Officer Hunter Foster as the officer who allegedly killed 1‑year‑old Kohen Kartier Wiley outside a Walmart.

Officials still have not publicly released the officer’s name, but the community is naming what the system will not: a baby’s life was taken during a police response to a reported shoplifting call.

Local and state reporting confirm that officers opened fire on a vehicle near the Walmart and that Kohen was killed and an adult was wounded. Those same reports confirm that the investigation is ongoing and that the officer is on leave, while key details and the body‑camera footage remain out of public view.

When institutions stay silent, it is often the community that has to identify the people involved and demand transparency, accountability, and real consequences.

That is the work activists are doing here.

Say his name: Kohen Kartier Wiley.

Say his name: Hunter Foster.
