New Orleans truck attack: What we know so far about the victims

A University of Alabama engineering student, a former wide receiver at Princeton University, a recent high school graduate, a doting father, a Brit with royal connections and a first-year college student were among the those who died on New Year's Day when a pickup truck barreled into crowds on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

A University of Alabama engineering student, a former wide receiver at Princeton University, a recent high school graduate, a doting father, a Brit with royal connections and a first-year college student were among the those who died on New Year's Day when a pickup truck barreled into crowds on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.

Fourteen people were killed and more than 30 were injured before police shot and killed the 42-year-old Army veteran who investigators say was at the wheel of the rented vehicle. The attacker was "100 % inspired by ISIS" and acted alone, according to the FBI.

New Orleans police and officials with the Orleans Parish Coroner’s Office have not released all the names of those killed. But days after the carnage in the French Quarter, 14 families were bracing for funerals.

Here are some of their stories:

Kareem Badawi, 18, was home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for the holidays. He had just completed his first semester at the University of Alabama, which he believed had a better engineering program than the University of Louisiana, said his father, Belal Badawi, 64.
