An Auburn University graduate was among those killed in the New Year’s Day terror attack in New Orleans.

Drew Dauphin, who graduated from AU in 2023, was among 15 people killed when authorities say 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar drove a pickup truck with an Islamic State flag around a police blockade and slammed into revelers before being shot dead by police.

“On behalf of Auburn University, I send my sincere condolences to the family and loved ones of 2023 graduate Drew Dauphin who was taken from us in the New Orleans terror attack,’’ said Auburn University President Christopher B. Roberts.

“Words cannot convey the sorrow the Auburn Family feels for Drew’s family and friends during this unimaginably difficult time,’’ Roberts said. “Our thoughts are with the Dauphin family and the families of all the victims of this senseless tragedy.”

Dauphin, according to his LinkedIn profile, was a supplier process engineer who had worked for American Honda Motor Company Inc. since his graduation.

He is one of at least two victims with Alabama ties to the horrific attack.

University Alabama freshman Kareem Badawi, of Baton Rouge was also killed.

Badawi was a 2024 graduate of the Episcopal School of Baton Rouge and had this fall started at UA, where he pledged to join the Sigma Chi fraternity.

“It is with great sadness and grief, and with hearts satisfied with Allah’s decision and destiny, I announce the death of my son,” his father, Belal Badawi, posted on Facebook. “We ask Allah Almighty to shower his mercy on him, and give us patience and strength to overcome.”

A group of friends visiting New Orleans from Mobile were among the 30 or so injured in the attack.

Alexis Scott-Windham, 23, told AL.com she was shot in the ankle and her friend, Brandon Whitsett, was struck by the pickup truck.

Scott-Windam said she has to go back to the hospital in two weeks to have her fracture re-examined. In the meantime, she’s on bed rest and off work from her job at the Amazon facility in Mobile.

Whitsett, she said, remains in New Orleans and is in stable condition at Touro Hospital. H

Whitsett, a 2022 alumni of Vigor, posted on Facebook Wednesday saying, “Forever thank god that could of been worse.”

Authorities finished processing the scene early in the morning, removing the last of the bodies, and Bourbon Street was set to reopen at some point later in the day, according to an official familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press.

The Sugar Bowl college football game between Notre Dame and Georgia, initially set for Wednesday night and postponed by a day in the interest of national security, was still on for Thursday. And the city planned to host the Super Bowl next month.

Federal officials were investigating Shamsud-Din Jabbar’s potential associations with any terror organizations as they hunted for additional clues in what’s believed to be the deadliest IS-inspired assault on U.S. soil in years.

However, the FBI on Thursday said they believed he may have acted alone.
