TL;DR Summary

Former Philadelphia Police officer Mark Dial has surrendered to face murder charges for fatally shooting Eddie Irizarry last month. The shooting, which was initially misreported by the police, sparked protests and raised questions about the department's handling of the incident. Bodycam footage showed that Irizarry was seated in his car with a knife in his hand when Dial opened fire. This marks the fourth time District Attorney Larry Krasner has charged a police officer in connection with an on-duty shooting since taking office in 2018. Dial had been suspended from the Police Department with intent to dismiss.
