跟进：密西西比州警员枪杀1岁男童案：开枪警员与代理警察局长双双辞职

美国密西西比州 Senatobia 市官员10月23日表示，今年6月在当地一家 Walmart 停车场开枪打死1岁男童 Kohen Wiley 的警员 Hunter Foster 已经辞职，该市代理警察局长 Angelica Maze 也已辞职。（GSM 据路透社报道）

Senatobia 市长 Greg Graves 10月23日证实 Foster 已离开 Senatobia 警察局，但没有说明他是被要求辞职还是自行辞职。据当地媒体刊出的辞职信，代理局长 Maze 也已卸任。Foster 的律师 Martin Zummach 向 NBC News 表示，他的当事人辞职是「为了这座城市和警察局好，也是为了让疗愈过程得以进行」。

这起案件发生在今年6月中旬。密西西比州调查局当时表示，警员接报前往 Walmart 处理一起盗窃报警，遇到两名成年人和一名儿童乘车离开，警员试图拦车时司机朝警员方向驶来，一名警员随后开枪，车辆逃离现场。Foster 开枪击中车内1岁的 Kohen Wiley，男童死亡。已公布的现场画面显示，店员称有涉嫌盗窃者正要逃离后，Foster 与其他警员跑出 Walmart。据官员称，男童的母亲和她的朋友被指偷了尿布，但两人至今没有被起诉。

密西西比州总检察长 Lynn Fitch 本周早些时候认定这名警员的用武「属正当」，宣布其不面临刑事指控，本站此前已报道执法录像公布后家属称开枪不正当。本次辞职发生在这一认定公布之后。代表男童家属的民权律师 Ben Crump 表示，家属正呼吁美国司法部介入调查，问责不能止于这名警员辞职。他10月23日说：「没有任何一位母亲应该因为一起偷尿布的指控而埋葬自己的孩子。」

Senatobia 警察局近月人事动荡不断：前局长 Harold Vanderford 今年9月已被解职，此前有媒体报道他在短信中使用针对黑人的种族歧视用语。目前 Foster 与 Maze 辞职后该局的接任安排尚未公布，本站将继续跟进。

Follow-Up: Officer Who Fatally Shot 1-Year-Old in Mississippi and Interim Police Chief Both Resign

Officials in Senatobia, Mississippi, said on Friday, October 23, that Hunter Foster, the police officer who fatally shot 1-year-old Kohen Wiley in a Walmart parking lot in June, has resigned, and that the city's interim police chief, Angelica Maze, has also stepped down. (GSM, via Reuters)

Senatobia Mayor Greg Graves said on Friday that Foster had resigned from the Senatobia Police Department, without specifying whether he was asked to resign or did so on his own. Maze, the department's interim chief, also stepped down, according to a resignation letter reported by local media. Foster's lawyer, Martin Zummach, told NBC News that his client "resigned for the good of the city and the police department and to permit the process of healing."

The shooting took place in mid-June. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation said officers responded to a shoplifting call at Walmart and encountered two adults and a juvenile child fleeing into a vehicle. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but the driver drove in their direction, the bureau said, and an officer then discharged his weapon as the vehicle fled. Foster's shot struck 1-year-old Kohen Wiley, who was killed. Released footage showed Foster running out of the Walmart with other officers after an employee said suspected shoplifters were attempting to flee. Officials have alleged the child's mother and her friend stole diapers; the two women have not been charged.

Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch said earlier this week that "the use of force was justified" and cleared the officer of criminal wrongdoing, a decision GSM reported along with the family's response after body-camera footage was released. Prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who represents the child's family, said the family is calling for a Department of Justice investigation and that accountability cannot end at the officer's resignation. "No mother should have to bury her baby over an allegation of shoplifting diapers," Crump said on Friday.

The Senatobia department has seen further turmoil: former chief Harold Vanderford was fired in September after media outlets reported he had used racist slurs against Black people in text messages. No successor arrangements following the resignations of Foster and Maze have been announced.
