Authorities are investigating a hit-and-run crash on Manor St. in Lancaster.

A judge has reinstated all charges, including a murder count, against a former police officer who shot and killed a driver through a rolled-up car window.Police body cam video shows Officer Mark Dial with his weapon drawn at Eddie Irizarry on Aug. 14, 2023.

Irizarry's aunt, Zoraida Garcia, who ducked out of the courtroom just before the ruling because she feared becoming too emotional, said, “Today, I see that justice is being served. He’s going to jail.”“I think we needed that as a family, we need that as a community, just to build up the trust, because a lot of the times it’s lost. Something like this really made us think twice,” she said.

Assistant District Attorney Lyandra Retacco, however, argued Wednesday that a trial was needed to determine what was said and by whom as well as a number of other facts in the case that are in dispute. She said the defense refers to the case as a “tragedy," suggesting “something bad happened but nobody did anything wrong — but Mark Dial did something horribly wrong.”
