BREAKING: Three former Delco police officers charged with killing Fanta Bility when they fired 25 shots at a moving car as a nearby crowd left a high school football game pleaded guilty Thursday to reckless endangerment as part of a plea deal.
Brian Devaney, 41; Devon Smith; 34 and Sean Dolan; 25, pleaded guilty to 10 counts of reckless endangerment in a deal that prosecutors said the family of victim Fanta Bility was involved in. In exchange, prosecutors dropped charges of voluntary and involuntary manslaughter against the officers.From left: Sean Dolan, Devon Smith and Brian Devaney.
Prosecutors contend the Sharon Hill officers negligently fired at a car they wrongly believed was involved in gunfire that broke out as the game ended in August 2021. Four people were shot by police outside the stadium, including soon-to-be third grader Fanta. Ballistics testing could not determine which officer fired the shot that killed her, but a grand jury recommended that all three face charges in her August 2021 death. Their lawyers have accused prosecutors of succumbing to political pressure to pursue charges.
The officers told investigators they thought the car driving toward them was the likely source of the gunfire, prompting them to return fire.
