A Philadelphia police officer who opened fire during a traffic stop that left a man dead is expected to be fired on Wednesday, according to a source close to the decision-making process.

Mark Dial, a 5-year member of the Philadelphia Police Department, is accused of shooting 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry to death inside his car on Willard Street last week.

"This agency was created for moments such as this," the statement read. "It is our responsibility to hold our police department accountable and also amplify the voices of the community."The officer involved in Monday's deadly shooting during a traffic stop in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood has been identified.

Video released Tuesday shows the officers pull up alongside Irizarry’s vehicle and quickly exit the vehicle with their guns drawn. Police have said that second officer had attempted to open Irizarry’s passenger side door when he spotted a knife, then alerted Dial that Irizarry had a weapon. The video released Tuesday also shows the officers pulling Irizarry out of the car after the shooting and loading him into their patrol car to rush him to a nearby hospital where he later died.
