Nicole Perez, 27, a doting mother who had just received a promotion at work and moved into a new apartment with her 4-year-old son, was one of the victims of the attack. Her employer, Kimberly Usher-Fall, shared that she had gone to Bourbon Street to celebrate the new year with friends and tragically lost her life after being struck by the truck. "I'm going to miss her," Usher-Fall said. "I really loved helping her. I wanted her to be successful."
The attack, which authorities have labeled as an act of terrorism, turned a joyful scene on Bourbon Street into one of chaos just hours into the new year, leaving at least 15 dead and dozens injured. This shocking event took place in a popular nightlife district, highlighting the tragedy of violence intruding on public celebration, including the New Year's festivities and a college football playoff game.
