Former Princeton University football player Tiger Bech was among the 15 victims on Bourbon Street killed by the attacker. The news was given by his brother Jack, a former player at Texas Christian University.

“I will always love you bro!,” Jack Bech posted. For his part, Bob Surace, the coach at Princeton, told ESPN that he exchanged messages with Tiger’s father.

From 2017 to 2019 at the prestigious college in New Jersey, Bech had notable performances as a player. He was now working as a stockbroker in New York and was in New Orleans to celebrate New Year’s Eve.

Before committing the massacre, the terrorist declared his allegiance to the Islamic State in a video. Some experts had warned that the risks of such attacks in the United States had increased dramatically in recent months.
