Family of Eddie Irizarry were finally able to see the bodycam footage showing the moment a Philadelphia officer fatally opened fire during a traffic stop, a video they say proves the innocence of their beloved family member.
Attorneys for the family say they were invited to view the footage Wednesday by District Attorney Larry Krasner, weeks after repeated requests.
Shaka Johnson, an attorney representing the family of Eddie Irizarry, held a press conference with family members on Tuesday where they shared home surveillance video of the deadly shooting. Attorneys claim the bodycam footage shows that Irizarry never raised his knife, and even tried to put it away.The use of the words "knife," and "weapon" have also now been called into question.
