SDS Demands Justice for Kohen Wiley

On June 14th, 2026, the Senatobia, Mississippi, Police Department shot and killed 1- year-old Kohen Wiley based on allegations that his mother had stolen a package of diapers. She did not, in fact, steal anything from the Walmart where this murder took place, and we firmly believe that the value of a child’s life is worth infinitely more than anything that could have been stolen.

This is just one of the latest instances of police brutality and violence inflicted upon Black people for the sole crime of being Black. We are outraged by the death of Kohen Wiley, and the death of every Black child whose life the police entirely disregard. Every child deserves to grow up safe and free from harm.

We stand with the family of Kohen Wiley, his mother, and with the ongoing protests against police violence in Mississippi and around the United States. we demand a transparent investigation into Kohen’s murder.

Black lives matter!
Jail killer cops!
