Auburn University, ACA graduate among those killed in New Orleans attack

An Auburn University graduate, who also graduated from Alabama Christian Academy in Montgomery, was among those killed in the New Orleans terrorist attack early on New Year’s Day.

Auburn University President Christopher B. Roberts issued this statement:

“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.

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

Dauphin was a 2016 graduate of ACA. The school released a statement remembering him as a friend, a leader and a part of the baseball and football teams.

“Our hearts are heavy as we share in the grief of this loss with the Dauphin family and Drew’s many friends and classmates,” ACA posted on Facebook.
