Bodycam video shows police shooting death of one-year-old Kohen Wiley – deconstructed
Police body camera and security footage released on 21 October shows the police shooting of Kohen Wiley on 14 June in Senatobia, Mississippi. The released video comes after the Mississippi attorney general announced that the shooting 'was justified'.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the release of body camera footage tied to the shooting of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley, and both identify the Mississippi authorities as the source of the video. CBS News foregrounds that state officials ruled the shooting justified and describes the child as being shot outside a Walmart, while ABC News emphasizes that the family is speaking out alongside the footage release. The only detail unique to ABC’s extract is the mention of the family’s response.
