Heather Genusa, engaged to Brandon Taylor, calls decision not to place barriers on Bourbon Street ‘a horrible disgrace’

A woman who saw her fiance get run over and killed alongside 13 other victims of the Bourbon Street truck attack on New Year’s Day in New Orleans says city officials “need to pay” the consequences after evidently opting against using multiple types of vehicle barriers that could have protected the targeted crowd.

“He died for no reason,” Heather Genusa, 38, said of 43-year-old Brandon Taylor, to whom she was engaged to be married.
