The teenager fatally shot outside his family's Chanhassen home last week by sheriff's deputies went into a rage a day earlier after his parents took away his car, prompting a call to 911.
Archer Amorosi, 16, died of multiple gunshots fired by Carver County sheriff's deputies late Friday morning, the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office said Sunday.
It was the first confirmation from authorities that Amorosi was the person who died outside the house in the 6400 block of Oriole Avenue after a woman there called 911, saying she feared her son was suicidal.
Amorosi was a lacrosse and football player who was set to begin his junior year at Minnetonka High School.
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), which is investigating the shooting, said Amorosi was brandishing weapons at deputies and others.
The woman who called 911 also said her son was threatening her with knives and a baseball bat, according to the BCA.
When deputies arrived they first used a Taser before two of them fired their weapons. Amorosi was pronounced dead at the scene. Body cameras and dash camera video from one of the five responding agencies may have recorded portions of the incident, according to the BCA.
Both officers involved in the shooting are on standard administrative leave, and the BCA will turn its findings over to the Carver County Attorney's Office for review. The officers have not been identified.
