Commissioner Danielle Outlaw says, Police officer who shot driver sitting in car is being suspended, will be fired

Philadelphia's police commissioner says a police officer who shot and killed a driver who was sitting in his car last week in north Philadelphia is being suspended and will be fired.

Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said Wednesday that Officer Mark Dial will be suspended with intent to dismiss him in 30 days for refusing to cooperate in the investigation of the Aug. 14 shooting death of 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry.

She cited administrative violations of insubordination, refusal to promptly obey proper orders from a superior officer, and a conduct unbecoming violation for "failure to cooperate in any departmental investigation." Outlaw said the investigation into the shooting itself continues.

Irizarry was shot as he sat in his car by Dial after officers spotted a car being driven erratically shortly before 12:30 p.m. Aug. 14 and followed it for several blocks, then approached as the driver turned the wrong way down a one-way street and stopped, police said. Dial has been on the force for five years.
