Names of Barcelona victims continue to emerge<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Names of Barcelona victims continue to emerge:- Seven-year-old Julian Cadman on Sunday became the latest victim of the Barcelona terror attack to be named among the dead as more details about those who lost their lives began to emerge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Citizens from at least 34 countries were among the 14 killed and more than 120 injured in attacks in Barcelona and the coastal town of Cambrils, according to officials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cadman, an Australian-British boy, who was in the city to attend to a family wedding, was reported missing in the aftermath of the attack on Las Ramblas after becoming separated from his mother.<\/span><\/p>\n

The boy’s mother was injured and taken to a hospital, where she told hospital workers before losing consciousness that her son had been with her, according to Francisco Jimenez, coordinator of SOS Desaparecidos — a nonprofit organization that shares information about missing people.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Catalan interior ministry issued a statement Sunday clarifying that Julian “had never been lost,” but officials did not include him among the victims until his identity was confirmed and his family was notified.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement, Cadman’s family said: “Julian was a much loved and adored member of our family … We are so blessed to have had him in our lives and will remember his smiles and hold his memory dear to our hearts.”<\/span><\/p>\n

He is the son of a 43-year-old Filipino woman who has been living in Australia with her British husband.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Spanish woman also was identified Sunday as one of the victims of the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sant Hipolit de Voltrega town council said Pepita Codina, one of the residents of the city, was killed. Her daughter Elisabet is in the hospital for injuries suffered during the attack on Las Ramblas, the council said in a statement Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There is very little we can add to these very difficult moments, but above all, for this family who has suffered the effects of this brutal attack with the death of Pepita, and the hospitalization of her daughter Elisabet, as a result of the injuries she suffered from the massive run-over in Las Ramblas. We hope Elisabet recovers as soon as possible, and can return home to her loved ones.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Argentine authorities said an Argentine-Spanish woman was also killed in the attack. Silvina Alejandra Pereyra, 40, had lived in Barcelona for the last 10 years, Argentina’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The Argentine government is saddened by the pain to her family members and loved ones due to her death, and the Barcelona consulate, as well as the Spanish embassy will maintain in contact to coordinate assistance with this case,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

US victim<\/span><\/p>\n

Jared Tucker of California was one of the 13 people killed Thursday when a van plowed into crowds in Barcelona, his father, Dan Tucker, told CNN affiliate KGO. One woman also was killed Friday in Cambrils when five attackers drove into pedestrians before police shot the assailants dead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jared Tucker, 43, was on a delayed honeymoon with Heidi Nunes, his wife of one year.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We didn’t find out until this morning that his wife, Heidi, was called into the consulate, and she was shown pictures of his body. And she confirmed it was him and now she’s on the way over to the morgue to make a real confirmation,” Dan Tucker told KGO. “He didn’t make it.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The elder Tucker says he wants people to remember that everyone loved his son, who had a large circle of friends from his softball league and was just a “neat guy.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The two had worked together in construction since he was 16.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s been bitter, but I don’t know what my feelings are,” he said. “I’m not angry so much as I just don’t understand it. My wife’s in shock.” He said his daughter would fly to Barcelona to help make arrangements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jared Tucker had three teenage daughters.<\/span><\/p>\n
