A police chief in a northern Mississippi city has been fired following a fresh wave of controversy, months after officers shot and killed a one-year-old Black child named Kohen Wiley during a shoplifting call.
Harold Vanderford, the police chief of Senatobia, tendered his resignation on Tuesday. However, the city’s board of aldermen rejected his departure and opted to unanimously vote to sack him instead, the city clerk confirmed without offering further detail.
