A judge in Philadelphia has reinstated a murder charge against a former Philadelphia police officer who fired his gun directly into the vehicle of 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry, just six seconds after exiting a police vehicle, killing the young Latino man. The move overturns another judge’s decision last month to drop all charges against the ex-officer.
Dial, a five-year veteran, was fired from the police department after security video released by an attorney for Irizarry’s family showed the officer firing multiple rounds at Irizarry’s car. According to a brief filed by prosecutors for Wednesday's hearing obtained by NBC News, prosecutors argued the case should go to trial. Mark Dial pulled over Irizarry on Aug. 14 for driving fast and erratically, prosecutors have said.
