Mississippi authorities have released body camera footage showing how a toddler was fatally shot by a police officer responding to a report of shoplifting in a Walmart car park.
Kohen Wiley, aged one, was on his mother's lap in a moving car when officers surrounded the vehicle in the city of Senatobia on 14 June.
The state's attorney general found the policeman was justified in using force, and the officer's lawyer argued in a statement to the BBC that the driver was attempting to kill law enforcement.
