SANTA ANA, Calif. (KABC) -- The pedestrian who was struck and killed during a police chase in Santa Ana was identified Friday as 33-year-old Andrew Scott Reisse.

Reisse, a Santa Ana resident, was walking in a crosswalk when he was struck and killed at the end of a police chase Thursday.

Authorities say the incident began when officers saw two vehicles full of people involved in some type of criminal activity in the 1000 block of Rosewood Court Thursday. When officers went to investigate, there was a physical altercation between a suspect and an officer, and an officer-involved shooting occurred. The suspect was taken to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries. He was identified as 26-year-old Gerardo Diego Ayala.

Rest of the story is at the link above, though currently it's a short story.

The link itself doesn't say that he worked on the Oculus Rift, but on the news program itself, they mentioned he was an "Oculus VR" developer and worked on a lot of other stuff in the games industry as well.

Really sad news to hear, hopefully his friends and family are doing ok.

Whatttttttt!!!!!?????

What the hell man?!
What the fuck man?!

Fucking humans. Fucking shit!!

This was pretty much my take when I saw this... It's one thing when horrible decisions end your own life, but to end contributing members of society with you is just beyond shit.


I hope the perpetrator ends up in whatever version of hell his beliefs grant him and condolences to the families of everyone else.

 

[Salaadin]

Awww, man.

RIP. My condolences to his family.

 

[jaypah]

R.I.P. Damn, just minding his own damn business, smh. Sucks.

I'm in a little disbelief.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

Such a young guy, my condolences to his loved ones. RIP

 

[Zoc]

Just as much the fault of the police for participating in a god damn chase in an area with pedestrians. What did they fucking expect, that the criminals in the car they were chasing would be extra extra careful not to hit anyone or anything?

 

[illmatic22]

What a shame R.I.P.

 

[beast786]

Can't imagine a young career and life ended so young.
