The fatal shooting of a 1-year-old boy by police who were responding to a shoplifting call this week has ignited simmering tensions between police and Black residents in the small town of Senatobia, Mississippi.

The vehicle fled the scene, but later arrived at a local hospital where the child was pronounced dead and an adult was treated for critical injuries.
