A young mother teaching her son to read. A former college football player "on top of the world" living in New York City. An 18-year-old aspiring nurse. A father of two remembered as the "life of the party."
Family members and friends have begun identifying the 14 people who died in thetruck-ramming attackearly Wednesday morning on Bourbon Street in New Orleans.
The suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was allegedly"hell-bent" on killing as many people as possiblewhen he steered a pickup truck around barricades and plowed into a crowd of people ringing in the New Year, according to New Orleans Superintendent of Police Anne Kirkpatrick.
Here's what we know about the victims so far:

In his final text message exchange with his son, Belal Badawi wished his son a happy new year.
Kareem Badawi responded "Happy New Year baba," which is Arabic for "daddy."
The text message was the last communication Belal Badawi had with his son. The family traveled from Baton Rouge to New Orleans on New Year's Day to track down Kareem Badawi, eventually learning he was killed in the attack.
Kareem Badawi was a freshman at the University of Alabama, majoring in mechanical engineering.
"He was incredibly smart and dedicated to his studies, always pushing himself to be the best," his family said in a statement. "On top of that, he was a talented athlete, known for his hard work and team spirit. But what truly set Kareem apart was his kindness. He was sweet, loving, and caring, always there for his family and friends."
The statement went on to say: "Kareem's smile and humor truly lit up every room. As a son, brother, cousin, and friend, he was someone everyone could count on. With his bright future ahead of him, Kareem was destined for great things, and he'll be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him."
Kareem Badawi was a member of the Sigma Chi International fraternity and the Iota Iota chapter at the University of Alabama.
He graduated from the Episcopal School of Baton Rouge last year.
A fellow alumnus was also critically injured and is hospitalized, the school said.
Badawi was attending the University of Alabama, according to a statement from the university president.
