New Orleans (USA): Many people including an 18 year old girl who dreamed of becoming a nurse, a 20 year old mother of an only child, a father of two children and former football star player Princeton were killed in the New Orleans terrorist attack. All of them were run over by the driver of a white pick up truck driving at a high speed in the New Orleans terrorist attack. They suffered fatal injuries in this attack. This attack took place on Bourbon Street early Wednesday morning when the crowd was packed with people enjoying the New Year holidays. 

Authorities have not yet released the names of the 15 people killed in the New Orleans truck attack on New Year's Day, but their families and friends have begun sharing their stories after falling victim to the deadly attack. New Orleans Coroner Dr. Dwight McKenna said in a statement late Wednesday that he would release the names of the deceased after autopsies are completed and their families are spoken to. About 35 people were injured in the attack. 

People told what they saw with their eyes

Nikyra Dedeaux in New Orleans and Ian Parsons of Gulfport, Mississippi, were celebrating New Year's Eve on Bourbon Street when a vehicle came and struck their 18-year-old friend, Nikyra Dedeaux, who dreamed of becoming a nurse. "A truck came around the corner and went forward, throwing people in the air, like a scene from a movie," Parsons told The Associated Press. Her friend was seriously hurt and thrown at least 30 feet. "I was lucky to survive."

The area was shaken by the sound of collision and gunfire

Parsons said the crowd dispersed in sudden chaos. He lived through the horror, hearing gunfire and explosives. He saw blood pouring in the streets and maimed people. "Everybody was screaming and yelling, 'Bodies, bodies,' up and down the street," Parsons said. The scene rocked the area.

The injured were crying on the floor

Parsons said the wounded were lying on the floor crying. The scene was absolutely mind-blowing. It felt like he was standing in a battlefield. Parsons said Dedeaux was a responsible daughter. She was younger than all her siblings, but she helped take care of everyone. Dedeaux had a job at a nearby hospital. She was also about to start college and work toward her goal of becoming a registered nurse.

Reggie Hunter

The 37-year-old Baton Rouge father of two was among the 15 dead after he was struck by a pickup truck early Wednesday. His first cousin, Shirelle Jackson, told NOLA that Reggie Hunter was leaving work to celebrate New Year's with his cousin when the attack occurred. Hunter was killed and his cousin was injured, Jackson said.

Tiger Bech, a former Louisiana high school and college football player, was among those killed when a driver rammed a pickup truck into a crowd in New Orleans' French Quarter, according to an education official. Tiger Bech, 27, died Wednesday morning at a New Orleans hospital, local media outlets reported, citing Saints athletic director Kim Broussard. Bech played football at Princeton University before graduating in 2021. He most recently worked as an investment trader at a New York brokerage firm.

Nicole Perez

Nicole Perez, killed in the New Orleans truck attack, was a single mother of a 4-year-old son. She was around 20. She had recently been promoted to manager at Kimmie's Deli in Metairie, Louisiana. Usher confirmed Perez's death through her sister. Usher said in an emotional post that Perez would walk into the deli in the morning, which opened at breakfast time, and ask a lot of questions about the business side of the operation. Usher has started a GoFundMe account to help with Perez's burial and her son's expenses. She said she was a really good mom.
