The 65-year-old man who was fatally injured while trick-or-treating with his 4-year-old son when they were struck by a vehicle in Irvine was a longtime immigration lawyer, according to his website and posts on Facebook.
John Roger Alcorn was pronounced dead at 8:36 p.m. Friday at UC Irvine Medical Center in Orange, according to the coroner’s office.
He was struck at 7:10 p.m. Friday in the 100 block of West Yale Loop, Orange County Fire Authority Capt. Steve Concialdi said. Alcorn’s son was critically injured, he said.
Authorities had no update on the boy’s condition Monday morning. He was last listed as critical but stable, according to Irvine police.
Alcorn was admitted to the California Bar in 1980 and practiced immigration and nationality law in Irvine, according to the State Bar of California.
In a Sunday Facebook post through his law firm’s website, one former client said, “John Alcorn helped all our family with our immigration back in the late 80s and even after and still to this day we recommend people to his office. And we also became good friends. RIP John.”
Alcorn’s adult daughter, Sophie Alcorn, is a lawyer in his practice, according to the website.
The female driver of the vehicle, a Mazda 3, stopped at the scene and was not cited, but the investigation was continuing.
