Newly released body cam footage shows the chaotic moments leading up to a Mississippi police officer fatally shooting a 1-year-old boy during a suspected shoplifting incident at Walmart.

The disturbing video captures officers rushing into the parking lot of a Senatobia Walmart on June 14 after receiving reports that two women suspected of stealing diapers and baby clothes were fleeing the store.

The footage shows the women getting into a gray sedan with 1-year-old Kohen Wiley inside as officers approach the vehicle and repeatedly order the driver to stop.
