Details:

The FBI is seeking information from the public regarding the investigation into the attack on innocent victims on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the early morning hours of January 1, 2025. 

 

At approximately 3:15 a.m. CST, on January 1, 2025, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a United States citizen from Texas, drove a pickup truck into a crowd of people on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 14 and injuring dozens of others. After driving through the crowd, he exited the vehicle and fired upon local law enforcement. Law enforcement returned fire, and Jabbar was pronounced deceased at the scene.

 

Surveillance footage from 2:03 a.m. CST shows Jabbar as he walked along Dauphine Street near Governor Nicholls Street. The footage shows Jabbar dressed in a light brown long coat, a dark-colored button-down shirt, blue jeans and what appears to be brown dress shoes. The FBI is also releasing a photo of one of the coolers containing an IED, which was placed by Jabbar near the intersection of Bourbon and Orleans Street.

 

The FBI has set up a Digital Media Tipline. Anyone with information, photos, and/or video footage of the incident, Jabbar, or the two coolers containing IEDs should submit them to www.fbi.gov/bourbonstreetattack
