The driver who killed 15 people and injured dozens by ramming a truck into New Year’s revelers in New Orleans’ French Quarter has been identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen born in Texas.
Jabbar reportedly served in the U.S. Army and later worked at Deloitte, earning around $120,000 annually. Financial struggles, including overdue house payments exceeding $27,000, were documented during his second divorce in 2022.
Driving a Ford electric truck rented through Turo, Jabbar targeted pedestrians celebrating the New Year. He exited the vehicle, carrying an ISIS flag and a chest containing explosives, and began firing at the crowd. Police shot and killed Jabbar at the scene.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Alethea Duncan stated that they do not believe Jabbar acted alone. Federal authorities are investigating potential accomplices who may have assisted in planning or executing the attack.
The attack has deeply impacted New Orleans, leading to the postponement of the Sugar Bowl, a College Football Playoff quarterfinal, until Thursday. Authorities continue to investigate the motive and connections behind the attack as the community mourns the tragic loss of life.
