Action News has learned one Princeton University graduate was killed and another was injured in the truck attack early Wednesday morning in New Orleans . The man killed was former Princeton University football player Tiger Bech. Michelle Bech said her son, 27, lived life to the fullest and was 'on top of the world.' She said her son was in Louisiana for a long weekend of hunting and fishing, two of his favorite activities, with college friends from Princeton.
His younger brother, Jack Bech, is a wide receiver for Texas Christian University Football. Michelle Bech said Tiger Bech frequently flew down from New York City over the past two years to attend his brother's games. In a statement to ABC News, Princeton football coach Bob Surace described Bech as 'a ferocious competitor with endless energy, a beloved teammate and a caring friend.' 'Our last conversation was about how proud I was of the growth he showed during his time at Princeton and the success he was having after graduation. My love goes to the entire Bech family,' Surace said. The man who was injured is Ryan Quigley, who graduated from Lansdale Catholic in 2016 and Princeton University in 2020. The president of Lansdale Catholic, Meghan Callen, called Quigley 'a beloved member of the Lansdale Catholic High School Class of 2016.' 'We are incredibly proud of him, and we are hopeful and praying for his complete and full recovery,' Callen said
