Former NFL star Antonio Brown has created a fund for the victims and their families as a result of the terrorist attack that took place in New Orleans on New Year’s Eve.
More than a dozen people were killed and several others injured when the suspect, identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, drove a truck into a crowd of people on Bourbon Street. He was killed in a shootout with officers following the ramming, which is believed to have been inspired by ISIS.

Brown launched a GoFundMe on Thursday, raising more than $3,500 in the first few hours.
“This has nothing to do with me, just to help the families who lost loved ones in New Orleans,” the fundraiser’s description reads. “I will be working with Gofundme to make sure all dollars raised are shared between the 15 families who lost loved ones on January 1st. Prayers.”
