(NewsNation) — A cause of death for food influencer Michael Duarte, 38, has officially been revealed.

Duarte, known on social media as FoodWithBearHands, died Nov. 8. He was shot and killed by police after he made threats at a deputy, the Medina County Sheriff’s Office said at the time.

He died from a gunshot wound, and his death has been ruled a homicide, a Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office spokesperson told People magazine.

The full autopsy results are still pending, the spokesperson said.

Authorities: Michael Duarte was ‘acting erratically’

Law enforcement officials said they responded to a 911 call on Nov. 8 in Castroville, Texas, involving a “male subject with a knife acting erratically.”

“After multiple verbal commands were given for Duarte to get on the ground by the deputy, Duarte charged toward the deputy while yelling, ‘I’m going to kill you,’” according to the sheriff’s office.

After allegedly not complying, a deputy fired two rounds at Duarte, striking him.
