Shamsud Din Jabbar has been identified as the individual responsible for deliberately driving his pickup truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans during the New Year’s celebrations.
The attack, which occurred at 3:15 a.m. on January 1, 2025, resulted in the deaths of at least 10 people and left over 30 others injured. After the crash, Jabbar opened fire on police officers, injuring two.
