Family and friends of Eddie Irizarry will hold a balloon release Wednesday evening in memory of the man who was shot and killed by police one year ago in Fairhill.
It's taking place at 6 p.m. at Magnolia Cemetery on Levick Street in Tacony.
Irizarry was shot and killed by then-officer Mark Dial as he sat inside his car during a traffic stop on Willard Street near Westmoreland.
Police say Irizarry was holding a knife that Dial mistook for gun.
Last week, prosecutors dropped first-degree murder charges against Dial. He still faces third-degree murder and other charges.
