“At this point, the money is not going to bring my nephew back,' Irizarry's aunt said. 'But they need to feel the pain my family is feeling.'
The family of Eddie Irizarry has sued the now-former Philadelphia police officer who shot and killed him during a traffic stop in Kensington last month, saying his use of lethal force was excessive, unjustified and illegal.
The suit quotes Dial as saying he would shoot Irizarry before he fired the shots in rapid succession. The bullets came so quickly, the suit says, that Irizarry had no “opportunity whatsoever to comply with any law enforcement commands to either ‘drop the knife’ or to ‘show me your hands.’”The lawsuit also says that the officers “did not have the appropriate, necessary or ordered training regarding the use of deadly force.
Dial’s lawyers, Brian McMonagle and Fortunato Perri Jr., did not immediately return a request for comment Thursday. A body-worn camera shows Dial signaling to other officers that his camera is “still running.” The lawsuit alleges that Dial’s “silence is overwhelming and the obvious beginning of a conspiracy of silence and outright falsehoods in order to cover up the unlawful shooting of an innocent Philadelphian who had never been in trouble with the law in his life.”
“Simply put, the Philadelphia Police Department, including the defendant police officers, thought that they could unlawfully kill a Philadelphia citizen, and cover it up,” the lawsuit said. The District Attorney’s Office has appealed the judge’s decision in an attempt to refile all charges against Dial.
