Pysher was shot and killed by police around 12:30 a.m. on Aug. 23, after Upper Pottsgrove officers were called to a home on Snyder Road for a possible break-in.
The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office is handling the investigation, and few details have been released.
According to his family, Pysher had been out with friends and mistakenly went to the wrong house.
It remains unclear why the officer opened fire. The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office said Pysher was killed by gunshots to the chest.
Pysher was about to start his senior year at Saint Elizabeth College in New Jersey, with plans to become a teacher and baseball coach after graduation.
He was remembered for his “zest for life,” his passion for baseball, along with fishing, video games, and spending time with friends and loved ones.
