The second hearing for Eddie Irizarry, the 52-year old retired Beacon Police Officer who called 911 to say that he shot his roommate, Casey Cuddy, after he said that Casey pointed a shotgun at him, but not before posting to his Facebook "You guys got me if I shoot a Petti file," was adjourned today, Wednesday, September 24th. No evidence of a shotgun found at the scene has yet been presented to the public.

After his first appearance during his arraignment on August 5, 2025, where he pleaded Not Guilty to Second Degree Murder, A Little Beacon Blog has learned from a source familiar with the situation that Eddie had allegedly been placed on constant supervision for mental health watch upon entry to the jail.

For today's court appearance, Eddie was not in attendance. The Defense and Prosecuting Attorneys came before the Honorable Judge Jessica Segal to confirm that Eddie was meeting with an expert to evaluate his medical and mental health condition. The Prosecuting Attorney had no response to this, and the Judge proceeded to advise that the Defense's client was still in the process of being evaluated, and would proceed with the process on a doctor's evaluation.

The next court appearance is set for October 22, 2025. The date of November 12th was set for a Reply, and December 10th the Decision. Judge Segal stated that the client Eddie would “need to be produced” on that day, December 10th for the next hearing.

No Bail was set for Eddie during his first hearing, as the Prosecuting Attorney deemed him a flight risk, and Judge Segal agreed.

Eddie had served as a Beacon Police Officer for 17 years before retiring in 2021. He had relocated to North Carolina, and had recently moved back to Beacon. More details in this article.
