Council members in Sharon Hill, Pa., voted 6-1 to fire the three officers charged in the death of 8-year-old Fanta Bility. Investigators believe police gunfire killed the girl outside a high school football game over the summer.
The vote occurred two days after manslaughter charges were announced against Sharon Hill Police officers Brian James Devaney, 41, Sean Patrick Dolan, 25, and Devon E. Smith, 34, in the death of Fanta Bility.
The officers were taken into custody on $500,000 bail. It is unclear if they have posted bail or remain in custody as of Tuesday afternoon. They were charged after a grand jury found cause to charge them each with voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter and 10 counts of reckless endangerment. A message was left for their attorney.From left: Sharon Hill police Officers Sean Dolan, Devon Smith and Brian Devaney.
Bruce Castor, the attorney representing Fanta Bility’s family, as well as the attorney for another victim of the shootout, said they were happy with the new charges against the officers.
