At least 15 people were killed during a deadly attack on New Year’s Day when a driver slammed into a crowd celebrating New Year’s on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, in what is being investigated as a suspected terrorist attack.
At least 39 people were hospitalized for their injuries, some in critical condition.
“As of now, 15 people are deceased. It will take several days to perform all autopsies. Once we complete the autopsies and talk with the next of kin, we will release the identifications of the victims,” New Orleans Coroner Dr. Dwight McKenna said in a statement on Wednesday.
Even though authorities have not yet released the names of the victims, families, friends, schools and workplaces have shared memories and details about lives lost during the tragic events that unfolded in the French Quarter.
