Former Philadelphia police officer Mark Dial has been charged with murder and aggravated assault in the fatal shooting of 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry last month. District Attorney Larry Krasner released body camera footage of the incident, which showed Dial and his partner pulling up in a police vehicle next to Irizarry before Dial fatally shot him. Krasner said the investigation was conducted with "the utmost seriousness and care" and that he will continue to seek justice for Irizarry and his family.
