Rally for Eddie Irizarry
Center for Criminal Justice
1301 Filbert St.
Philadelphia
August 8, 2024
One year after Philadelphian Eddie Irizarry was killed by a cop through his car window, family and protesters gathered to commemorate his life — and to protest the release of his shooter, ex-cop Mark Dial, on bail. Watch the video above to see testimony from the rally, filmed by Deadline Poet Lindo Yes, who also performed a poem about police brutality live at the scene. All of this comes after the District Attorney’s Office withdrew a first-degree murder charge against Mark Dial last week; read more about that, and about the circumstances surrounding Irizarry’s tragic death, here.
