A Philadelphia police officer who fatally shot a 27-year-old man is expected to be fired after a 30-day suspension, the police commissioner said.
The footage shows that Irizarry was still inside his car when he was shot and killed. Just prior to the shooting, both officers yelled at Irizarry to "show me your hands." As he raced across the front of Irizarry's car to the driver's side window, Dial could be heard in the footage yelling to Irizarry, "Don't move" and "I'll f------ shoot you."
The video then shows Dial and his partner pulling the mortally wounded Irizarry from his vehicle and carrying him to their patrol vehicle to be rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Johnson said he and the family are asking the police department to release the police body-camera footage of the shooting. He said the city solicitor had invited Irizarry's family members to view the video on Friday in private, but the invitation was rescinded by the Philadelphia District Attorney, who cited the ongoing investigation.
Police officials said they found two knives in Irizarry's car, which they described as a "kitchen-style knife" and a "serrated folding knife." But Outlaw has declined to say if Irizarry had a knife in his hand when he was shot. He called Outlaw's correction about the shooting akin to "saying you're sorry after you were caught."
