At least 15 people were killed in the New Year's Day attack in New Orleans. Victims include former Princeton University football player Martin "Tiger" Bech, 18-year-old aspiring nurse Nikyra Dedeaux, store manager and father Reggie Hunter, 27-year-old mother Nicole Perez, and audio-visual technician Matthew Tenedorio. Families shared heartfelt tributes as investigations continue. Bech, a two-time Ivy League champion, was remembered as a "ferocious competitor." Dedeaux had plans to start nurse training this month. Hunter had wished his family a Happy New Year minutes before his death. The attack has left New Orleans mourning and demanding justice.
