(CLO) The attack on New Year's Eve 2025 in New Orleans, USA left at least 15 people dead and dozens injured.

The suspect, Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, drove a truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street before being killed in a shootout with police. Police and federal officials are now examining evidence to better understand the motives of Jabbar, a former U.S. soldier with a troubled history.

Jabbar is a US citizen who served in the Army from 2007 to 2015 as a human resources and information technology specialist. He served in Afghanistan from February 2009 to January 2010. After leaving the military, Jabbar continued to serve in the US Army Reserve until 2020, leaving with the rank of sergeant.

In addition to the military, Jabbar is a real estate professional and has worked at major companies such as Deloitte and Accenture. However, in recent years, Jabbar has had financial and family difficulties, including divorce and legal disputes over child support and debt.

According to the initial investigation, Jabbar rented a Ford F-150 Lightning truck through the Turo platform and drove from Texas to Louisiana to carry out the attack. Videos recorded by Jabbar along the way revealed his intentions for the attack, including that he initially planned to kill his family but then decided to join the terrorist group ISIS.

Police found potential improvised explosive devices and an ISIS flag in Jabbar’s truck. Video from his phone shows Jabbar believed his dreams guided him to join the terrorist organization.

Jabbar's resume shows educational and professional success, including a bachelor's degree from Georgia State University and roles at Deloitte and Accenture. However, Jabbar has also had legal troubles, including a 2002 burglary and allegations of domestic violence during his divorce.

Jabbar appears to have been experiencing a mental and financial crisis before the attack. In 2022, he admitted he was more than $27,000 behind on his mortgage and facing foreclosure.

Authorities are now trying to determine how Jabbar was radicalized from a good soldier into a suspected terrorist. The attack has shocked the US, especially since it happened in the popular tourist hub of New Orleans during the holiday season.

The FBI and other agencies are working to determine whether anyone else assisted or knew about Jabbar’s plans. Experts have also stressed the need for psychological support and security monitoring for veterans who show signs of instability.

With video and documentary evidence gathered, the investigation is focused on understanding Jabbar’s radicalization journey and how to prevent similar threats in the future. Meanwhile, the New Orleans community is holding memorials for the victims of the attack and calling for unity to overcome this tragedy.
