A Philadelphia police officer who fatally shot a 27-year-old man is expected to be fired after a 30-day suspension, the police commissioner said.
The lawyers for the family of Eddie Irizarry released video footage from the police shooting on Aug. 14, 2023.a 27-year-old man while he was sitting in his car was suspended for 30 days and the city's police commissioner said she intends to fire the officer at the end of the suspension.
Efforts by ABC News to reach Dial have been unsuccessful. The Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police, the union representing police officers, has told ABC Philadelphia station WPVI that it is standing by Dial. "My heart breaks for the family and for the loss of Mr. Irizarry," Kenney said. "Again, this is an ongoing investigation and I'm not going to have any comment on what I think or feel about what I've seen or know until this investigation is concluded."
"We know that is that was a patent lie. It's a fabrication. It did not happen that way," Shaka Johnson, an attorney for the Irizarry family, said. Dial's partner, who has not been identified by the police department, also drew his gun when he got out of his patrol car but never fired a shot, according to police officials.
Johnson said he and the family are asking the police department to release the police body-camera footage of the shooting. He said the city solicitor had invited Irizarry's family members to view the video on Friday in private, but the invitation was rescinded by the Philadelphia District Attorney, who cited the ongoing investigation.
Johnson said Irizarry's father, Eddie Irizarry Sr., who also attended Tuesday's news conference, gave his son the folding knife, which the younger Irizarry used in his job as a mechanic to strip wire.
