The FBI is revealing new details in their investigation into the tragic New Year's Day attack in New Orleans where a Houston man, Shamsud-Din Jabbar , intentionally drove his rented pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street, killing 14 people and injuring 57 others. According to the FBI , Jabbar's journey began on December 30th when he picked up the truck in Houston and drove to New Orleans on the evening of December 31st.
Prior to the attack, Jabbar had posted videos online expressing his support for ISIS and even mentioned considering harming his family and friends. The FBI believes Jabbar acted alone in this horrific act.The investigation has uncovered a disturbing timeline of Jabbar's actions leading up to the attack. On November 10th, he traveled to New Orleans by train, viewed a potential apartment for rent, and returned to Texas that evening. He later applied for the apartment but ultimately changed his mind. Horrifyingly, a review of Jabbar's electronic devices revealed online searches as recent as mid-November for information on Bourbon Street balconies, Mardi Gras, and details about several shootings in the city. Just hours before the attack, he even researched a car ramming attack at a German Christmas market that had occurred just ten days prior. The FBI released a detailed timeline of Jabbar's movements:* October 30, 2024 - Jabbar was in New Orleans* October 31, 2024 - Jabbar recorded himself riding a bike through the French Quarter* November 10, 2024 - Jabbar was in New Orleans* December 31, 2024 - At approximately 2:30 p.m., Jabbar entered Louisiana.* December 31, 2024 - At approximately 9 p.m., Jabbar's rented F-150 is seen in Gonzalez, Louisiana* December 31, 2024 - At approximately 10 p.m., Jabbar unloads the truck outside of a rental home on Mandeville Street* January 1, 2025 - At approximately 12:41 a.m., Jabbar parks the truck and walks to Royal Street and Governor Nichols Street in New Orleans* January 1, 2025 - At approximately 1:53 a.m., Jabbar places first IED (Improvised Explosive Device) at Bourbon Street and Peter Street.
