Bail Revoked for Philadelphia Officer Charged in Fatal Shooting of Eddie Irizarry

Bail has been revoked for former Philadelphia police officer Mark Dial, who is charged with the murder of Eddie Irizarry. Dial was released on $50,000 bail but prosecutors argued that with a potential first-degree murder charge, he should not be eligible for bail. Dial will now be housed in a Philadelphia jail as he awaits a preliminary hearing to determine if he faces first or third-degree murder charges. In addition to murder, Dial also faces charges of voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, and official oppression. Bodycam footage of the shooting shows Dial firing six shots at point-blank range after approaching Irizarry's car. Dial's lawyer claims that the officer heard "gun" and feared for his life.
