PHILADELPHIA - An attorney representing the family of a young man who police say was fatally shot by authorities after striking two state troopers on I-95 pressed for a full investigation and praised the fallen teen's character.Attorney Enrique Latoison, backed by the family of 18-year-old Anthony Allegrini, told reporters described the teen as a rule follower and a hard worker who was currently working three jobs."He is someone that’s never been in trouble before, he’s someone that graduated from high school last year, he was currently working 3 jobs," Latoison said. "He had worked hard to save his money and purchase that car which was his pride and joy."Investigators are gathering information on an officer-involved shooting that unfolded on I-95 that claimed the life of 18-year-old Anthony Allegrini Jr.
Police say Allegrini and three others piled into a car parked in the shoulder of the highway and struck two approaching state police troopers.
That caused an officer to fire one shot, fatally striking Allegrini in the driver's seat.Investigators say Allegrini was in the driver's seat of an Audi A-4 that was parked in the shoulder of I-95 near Penns Landing early Sunday morning.
The license plate of the vehicle was "completely obscured," according to police.State Troopers approached Allegrini's car on foot and were struck by the vehicle, investigators say.
