Eddie Jose Irizarry -- a 27-year-old man who was shot and killed by a Philadelphia police officer last weekThe family will be joined by a lawyer during a press conference that will take place at noon at 1801 Market Street in Center City.
When the officers approached Irizarry's vehicle, a Toyota Corolla, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said that Officer Dial approached and attempted to open the passenger door of the car, when his partner alerted him that Irizarry was armed. Initially, police officials said that Irizarry was outside of the vehicle while armed with a knife and had lunged at police before he was shot. Police later said this information was not accurate however. Instead he was inside the car and simply turned when he was shot and killed.
Outlaw said investigators knew their initial story was not accurate after watching body camera footage from the officers on the scene.
