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. Coworkers described him as a "brilliant mind."

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

Reisse's father, who lives in Virginia, said his son moved to Southern California about a year ago. Reisse co-founded Oculus VR in Irvine, a company known for its virtual reality headsets for immersive gaming.

"Andrew was a brilliant computer graphics engineer, an avid photographer and hiker who loved nature, a true loyal friend, and a founding member of our close-knit Oculus family," the company said in a statement.

There's some more information in the source link. It's pretty surreal. Maybe I'm just used to people passing from old age or illness.

daisies, that sucks. I hope his family and friends aren't doing too bad.

Sure sounds like wild way to go, though. The article mentioned a fatal cop-involved shooting before the chase began, but it doesn't say if a officer or one of the suspects died.

Whoa, weird. Hopefully this doesn't hurt OR, it's gotten some huge buzz in the industry.
