In the wake of the devastating New Year’s Day attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, FBI agents have executed a raid on the Houston residence of the suspect, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar.
Drone footage from the operation captures a man outside the property with his hands raised in surrender.
Jabbar, a U.S. Army veteran from Texas, was identified as the individual who drove a pickup truck into a crowd of revelers on Bourbon Street, resulting in at least 15 fatalities and numerous injuries.
Additionally, the Cybertruck was rented through the app Turo — the same company the man who died in the cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas used to rent the truck.
An ISIS flag was found attached to the vehicle, leading authorities to investigate the incident as a terrorist attack. Jabbar was fatally shot by police after he opened fire on officers responding to the scene.
The FBI’s Houston field office, in collaboration with local law enforcement, conducted the raid on Jabbar’s residence in north Houston.
The operation aimed to uncover any evidence of accomplices or further threats linked to the New Orleans attack.
Investigators have uncovered evidence suggesting that Jabbar did not act alone.
