In reply to the discussion: 1-Year-Old Boy Killed After Police Shot At His Car In Walmart Parking Lot [View all]"Cellphone video footage obtained by Fox 13 Memphis shows a vehicle driving away from officers, but does not appear to capture the moment of the shooting. A photo of the car shows bullet holes in the windshield."
"An eyewitness told WREG that 'I seen the officers take off running, not in the car, Im talking about on feet...Theyre running through the parking lot and I see the car take off, you know, so in my head, Im like, I know theyre not chasing the car, they dont think theyre going to catch the car. Then I hear gunshots, and Im like, I know theyre not shooting at a car thats leaving in public; this is Walmart.
"Another witness said that he heard two gunshots fired by officers who were already waiting in the Walmart parking lot as the two women left the store holding a box of diapers and the baby."
"Relatives of the slain toddler said his mother and aunt were not shoplifting and expressed wariness about local police, who have been embroiled in multiple brutality scandals involving Black victims in recent years."
'Senatobia Police Department get away with too much stuff,' Stokes, the great-grandmother, told WREG. 'I hear about it all the time, its in the news all the time.' "
