Philadelphia County Pennsylvania On August 14, 2023, a Philadelphia Police Officer shot and killed a man during a traffic stop. It was captured on his bodycam. Philadelphia Police fired Officer Mark Dial and charged him with first-degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, recklessly endangering another person and official oppression. A municipal court judge initially dismissed the case, citing lack of evidence to support the charge, but a Common Pleas Court judge has reinstated the case, and it is awaiting trial. On August 14, 2023, Dial and his partner followed Irizarry's car after it sped past them at high speed in a bike lane and rounded a corner, driving erratically and finally going the wrong way on a residential street before pulling into a parking space. Police body camera footage showed Dial firing a total of six rounds about seven seconds after getting out of a police SUV and walking over to the sedan. The footage also showed Irizarry holding a knife near his right leg. Dial's partner, Officer Michael Morris said he saw the driver holding a knife with a black metal handle that could have looked like a gun and the man started to raise it as Dial approached. #police #philadelphia #hospital #bodycam
