Hernán Ferruchi, 47, was among eight people killed when a rented pickup truck veered onto the Hudson River bike path in Lower Manhattan on October 31, 2017. Ferruchi had been in New York with close friends to mark the 30th anniversary of their high school graduation; five friends from that hometown group were killed together during the attack. The vehicle rampage tore through cyclists and pedestrians along West Street before ending when the truck struck a school bus near Chambers Street. The driver exited the vehicle holding what later was identified as a paintball gun and a pellet gun and was shot by police and taken into custody.

Federal prosecutors said the attacker had planned the attack for about a year, practicing with rented trucks and choosing Halloween because the streets would be fuller, and that he intended to continue toward the Brooklyn Bridge until the crash stopped him. Investigators described him as inspired by ISIS propaganda and reporting said he expressed allegiance and pride in the attack after being taken to the hospital. Ferruchi was described in reports as a construction and development professional, married with two children; colleagues remembered him as steady and devoted. Does anyone who knew Hernán or his travel companions have information or memories to share about that day?
