The New Orleans Saints are in mourning Matthew Tenedorioa Caesars Superdome employee … who was one of the 14 people killed in the terrorist attack in the New Year.
The NFL team expressed its condolences Thursday, saying it was “heartbroken” over the tragedy.
“Among those lost was Matthew Tenedorio, a valued member of the ASM New Orleans video production team,” the statement said.
“Matthew was young, talented and had a bright future helping to deliver quality content for both the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans.”
Tenedorio's parents spoke to local media about the unimaginable loss… His father said Matthew's dream job was to work in the Superdome.
Even more heartbreaking…his mother says she tried to talk him out of going to Bourbon Street for New Year's Eve.
The parents said they frantically called Matthew after learning of the fatal attack… and when they couldn't reach him, they knew something was wrong.
As we previously reported, former Princeton Tigers football player Tiger beech was also among the 14 who lost their lives early Wednesday morning.
