A Philadelphia judge on Tuesday dismissed all charges against former Police Officer Mark Dial, ruling that prosecutors had not presented evidence that he had committed a crime. Dial, 27, a five-year veteran of the force, shot and killed Irizarry, 27, as Irizarry sat in his car during a traffic stop in Kensington on Aug. 14. 

Police body camera footage shown at the preliminary hearing of fired Officer Mark Dial showed Irizarry holding a knife near his right leg as police approached his stopped vehicle. The officers had pulled Irizarry over on a residential street after a short pursuit prompted by erratic driving.

 Police initially said Irizarry had lunged at Dial with a knife, leading the officer to shoot him.But video showed that wasn’t true: Irizarry was in his car, with the windows rolled up and a knife in his hand, when Dial opened fire within just seconds of getting out of his police cruiser.

 Dial’s partner, Officer Michael Morris testified Tuesday that he saw the driver holding a knife with a black metal handle that could have looked like a gun. He said Irizarry started to raise it as Dial approached the car.

Municipal Judge Wendy Pew agreed with defense attorneys who argued the officer could have feared for his life because he thought the driver, 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry, had a gun.

12/16/20 LAFD and LAPD were dispatched to a traffic collision at the intersection of Roscoe blvd. and Tampa ave. in the city of Reseda, California around 6:15pm. I spoke with a gentleman who was waiting for the bus and witnessed the accident. He saw the dark gray convertible Mercedes-Benz car traveling north on Tampa. When the convertible was about to cross the intersection, the white Toyota who was traveling south on Tampa ave. tried to make a left turn on Tampa. The convertible burst into flames after hitting the traffic light pole. The drive of the convertible was transported to a local hospital. I spoke briefly with his mom, she said that she didn't know her son's condition. But she was told he was conscious and talking. I couldn't find the driver or passenger of the white Toyota car. Speed might had been a factor in the accident. Full video of traffic accident on my youtube channel
