Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, age 42, who was killed in a shootout with police officers after the incident at around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 1 on Bourbon Street, was a US citizen born in Texas, where he lived at the time of the incident, the FBI said.
The rented truck displayed an ISIS flag, and authorities say they don't believe Jabbar was “solely responsible” for the terror attack.
A “potential” improvised explosive and weapons were also found in the French Quarter, which is one of the reasons others are believed to be involved, the FBI said.
FBI agents visited the home of Jabbar's second wife in Houston on Wednesday. The woman's new husband said that the Jabbar had begun to convert to Islam within the last year and was “being all crazy," according to The New York Times.
When asked at a news conference Wednesday afternoon if investigators are "confident" others were involved in the attack, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said, "We want to answer your questions, but we don't want to say anything that would impede this investigation."
