A Philadelphia police officer who shot and killed a driver who was sitting in his car turned himself in Friday morning to face criminal charges.
Officer Mark Dial surrendered on a criminal warrant, according to his attorney, Fortunato Perri Jr, who said he has not yet been made aware of the specific charges against the officer.
The district attorney’s office also released police body-cam footage of the fatal shooting of 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry.
It showed Dial firing his weapon through the driver’s side window of Irizarry’s sedan during a vehicle stop on 14 August. Dial shot Irizarry about seven seconds after getting out of a police SUV and striding over to Irizarry’s car, according to the video. Six shots were fired.
