Louisiana State Police officers moved the vigil for victims of the New Year's Day terrorist attack on Bourbon Street to The Presbytère on Jackson Square early Friday morning. The memorial was at the intersection of Bourbon and Canal Streets, where 14 people were killed by Shamsud-Din Jabbar.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said the removal of the memorial was done in coordination with victims of the New Year's Day terror attack as well as family of the victims who died.

Orleans Parish Coroner Dr. Dwight McKenna says his office worked "around the clock" after Bourbon Street attack, but their efforts went unnoticed.

The move will better preserve the memorial from the elements and allow the city to move forward with Mardi Gras safety plans in the French Quarter.
