Default Mexican gangbangers kill Oculus Rift lead engineer and co-founder Andrew Reisse

33-year-old Andrew Reisse, co-founder of Oculus VR and lead engineer on
the Oculus Rift head-mounted virtual reality display, was killed Thursday
evening in Santa Ana, California, while crossing the street at a cross
walk. Reisse was struck by a speeding car involved in a high-speed police
chase.

According to several news outlets, the speeding car contained three "gang
members on probation," who were fleeing from police after engaging in a
"physical altercation" with officers that ended in a shooting. One alleged
gang member was killed and the rest escaped, kicking off the chase through
Santa Ana.

"They ran through several red lights, including the one where they struck
our victim," explained Santa Ana Police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna, via local
TV station KABC.

Oculus VR has released the following official statement:

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.

Some of us have known Andrew since college, and have worked with him at
multiple companies beginning with Scaleform in Maryland which he helped
start at age 19, then at Gaikai in Aliso Viejo which brought him out to
California, and finally at Oculus where he was a co-founder and lead
engineer.

Andrew's contributions span far and wide in the video game industry. His
code is embedded in thousands of games played by millions of people around
the world.

Words can not express how sorely he will be missed or how deeply our
sympathy runs for his family.

Andrew will always be in our thoughts and will never be forgotten. We love
you Reisse.

There is as yet no public information available on services or donations,
but we will update if we hear anything.
