Nikyra Dedeaux, Mississippi teen who wanted to be a nurse, among the dead in New Orleans
A Mississippi man who was celebrating New Year’s Eve in New Orleans says his friend who dreamed of becoming a nurse was among the people killed in an attack on Bourbon Street.
Zion Parsons, 18, said a vehicle suddenly appeared and he watched it hit his friend, 18-year-old Nikyra Dedeaux. At least 10 people were killed.
Parsons described the crowd scattering and the gruesome aftermath.
“Bodies, bodies all up and down the street, everybody screaming and hollering” Parsons said.
He said he watched as authorities put a tarp over Dedeaux’s body. He later called Dedeaux’s family to tell them what had happened.
“I hadn’t had time to cry up until I called her mother and she asked me, ‘Where’s my baby’,” Parsons said. “That broke me.”
Officials say residents and visitors should feel safe in New Orleans even as they have repeatedly acknowledged that they are aggressively seeking additional possible suspects in the attack.
During a news conference, Gov. Jeff Landry bristled at a question about how officials were confident that Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar did not act alone, saying, “Why would we tell you?”
But a Louisiana State Police bulletin obtained by The Associated Press and circulated among law enforcement contained a possible clue. The document said surveillance footage captured three men and a woman placing one of multiple improvised explosive devices.

Jack Bauer, who throws 103 mph, will pitch for Mississippi State baseball in 2026, forgoing MLB
Brian O’Connor introduced as new Mississippi State baseball coach
Watch Brian O’Connor’s first news conference as the Mississippi State baseball coach.
Mississippi State baseball signee Jack Bauer will forgo the MLB and play for the Bulldogs in 2026, he told the Clarion Ledger on July 14.
The left-handed pitcher from Frankfort, Illinois was a splashy late commitment to MSU and new coach Brian O’Connor because of his throwing power. According to his MLB.com draft profile, Bauer threw a 103-mph pitch in June — the hardest thrown pitch ever by a lefty in high school.
He was ranked as the No. 44 draft prospect by MLB.com but was not picked in the draft that ran from July 13-14.
Bauer flipped to Mississippi State on June 16 from Virginia, O’Connor’s former team.
Perfect Game ranked Bauer as the No. 21 prospect nationally in the 2025 recruiting class. Purvis’ JoJo Parker at No. 8 is the only member of MSU’s recruiting class ranked above him. However, Parker was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays with the No. 8 pick in the first round.
Two other signees were drafted. East Union’s Landon Harmon was picked by the Washington Nationals in the third round. Jacob Parker, JoJo’s twin brother, was a 19th-round pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Bulldogs saw all three of their starting pitchers — Pico Kohn, Evan Siary and Karson Ligon — drafted on July 14. Pitching coach Justin Parker was retained on O’Connor’s staff.
